Seguin Elementary

Summary:

Seguin Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 387 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seguin Elementary has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, moving from a 0-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 3-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. The school outperformed the HISD and Texas state averages in several STAAR assessments, including 3rd grade reading, 4th grade math, and 5th grade math. However, Seguin Elementary struggled in 5th grade science, with only 9.52% of students proficient compared to 22.69% in HISD and 26.29% in Texas. The school's English Language Learner (ELL) students performed particularly well, ranking 562 out of 3,556 Texas elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Seguin Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby schools in the HISD district, such as Alcott Elementary, Lewis Elementary, and Gregg Elementary. However, the nearby charter school, Houston Gateway Academy, consistently outperforms Seguin Elementary and other HISD schools in academic metrics, ranking among the top 15% of Texas elementary schools. The significant achievement gaps between Seguin Elementary's student subgroups, particularly for African American and special education students, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
