Elmore Elementary

Summary:

Elmore Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 532 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.

Elmore Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10.17% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.66% for HISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for Special Education students is slightly better, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the HISD district, such as Kashmere Gardens Elementary, Eliot Elementary, and McGowen Elementary, also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and STAAR performance. However, some other nearby schools, like Oates Elementary, Martinez R Elementary, and Scroggins Elementary, perform significantly better, suggesting that there may be systemic issues within the HISD district that contribute to the low performance of Elmore Elementary and its peers.

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.
