Robert King Elementary

Summary:

Robert King Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 981 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Katy Independent School District, which is ranked 158 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Robert King Elementary faces several challenges, including a diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic (58.61%) and African American (17.64%) students compared to district and state averages. The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1237 out of 4578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 (rated 4 stars) to 3244 out of 4675 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars), indicating a decline in performance relative to other Texas elementary schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing better than Asian and multi-racial students.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Katy ISD, such as Bethke Elementary and Katy Elementary, Robert King Elementary generally underperforms, with lower STAAR test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (67.58% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to these academic challenges, and the inconsistent performance across subgroups suggests the need for more targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the diverse student population.

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.
