North Creek Elementary

Summary:

North Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Melissa, Texas, serving 813 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Melissa Independent School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 968 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

North Creek Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's STAAR test scores are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics, with 71.22% of 3rd graders, 64.58% of 4th graders, and 63.83% of 5th graders being proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%, respectively. The school's performance is especially strong in mathematics, with 64.75% of 3rd graders, 57.64% of 4th graders, and 70.71% of 5th graders being proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40.86%, 44.67%, and 48.96%.

While North Creek Elementary's overall performance is strong, the school may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the relatively lower performance of its Asian and Multi-racial student subgroups, as well as its STAAR Science scores for 5th graders, which, although better than the state average, are still relatively lower compared to the school's performance in other subject areas. When compared to nearby schools, such as Willow Wood Elementary and Harry McKillop Elementary, North Creek Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger, but it is more mixed when compared to schools in other districts, such as McKinney Independent School District and Anna Independent School District.

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.
