Heritage Elementary

Summary:

Heritage Elementary is a public elementary school in Keller, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Keller Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 29.62% White, 24.74% African American, 27.53% Hispanic, and 9.41% Asian students.

While Heritage Elementary is part of a highly-ranked school district, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and Mathematics was significantly below the district and state levels. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from 1565 out of 4329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3278 out of 4581 in 2021-2022, indicating a decline in its relative performance.

Compared to nearby schools in the Keller ISD, such as Park Glen Elementary, Basswood Elementary, and Sunset Valley Elementary, Heritage Elementary generally underperforms. The school also has a higher percentage of minority students and students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions and support could be crucial in helping Heritage Elementary improve its performance.

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.
