River Pines Elementary

Summary:

River Pines Elementary is a public elementary school in Humble, Texas, serving 741 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 and has a 3-star rating.

River Pines Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its diverse student population. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic (57.76%) and African American (33.33%) students compared to the state average, while the percentage of White students (4.05%) is much lower. Academically, River Pines consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with student performance on STAAR tests well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25.93% of 3rd graders at River Pines were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.34% in the district and 48.85% statewide. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Humble ISD, such as Ridge Creek Elementary, Autumn Creek Elementary, and Park Lakes Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests, but generally outperform River Pines Elementary. This suggests that factors beyond just student population may be contributing to the challenges at River Pines. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 80% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, may also be a significant factor in its academic struggles.

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.
