Shadow Forest Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingwood, Texas, serving 626 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Humble Independent School District, which is ranked 476 out of 968 districts in the state.

Shadow Forest Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 71.32% of 5th-grade students at Shadow Forest Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 52.7% for the district and 53.96% for the state.

While Shadow Forest Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 16.4 compared to nearby schools (ranging from 12.9 to 16.1) suggests potential differences in resource allocation or staffing priorities. Additionally, the school's unique demographic profile, with a higher percentage of White students and lower percentages of minority students, may be reflective of the socioeconomic characteristics of the Kingwood community, which could contribute to the school's strong academic results.

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.
