Falcon Ridge Elementary

Summary:

Falcon Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Huffman, Texas, serving 689 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Humble Independent School District, which is ranked 637 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Falcon Ridge Elementary has a strong Gifted and Talented program, ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools, its overall academic performance is concerning. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.38% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.86%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing significantly worse than their peers. In comparison, Willow Creek Elementary, a nearby school in the Humble ISD, consistently ranks in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, Falcon Ridge Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 2154 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2655 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with its overall rating dropping from 3 to 2 stars. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, but this has not translated to significant improvements in academic performance. To address these challenges, Falcon Ridge Elementary could focus on improving the outcomes for its underperforming student subgroups, particularly its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

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.
