Park Lakes Elementary

Summary:

Park Lakes Elementary is a public elementary school in Humble, Texas, serving 742 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Humble Independent School District, which is ranked 476 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, Park Lakes Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in STAAR Science where only 5.66% of 5th graders were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 20.77% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (80.46%) likely contributes to its academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to academic success.

When comparing Park Lakes Elementary to other nearby schools in the Humble ISD, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Fall Creek Elementary, which is also in the Humble ISD, consistently ranks in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools and outperforms Park Lakes Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying issues at Park Lakes Elementary and provide a high-quality education to its 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.
