Seven Hills Elementary

Summary:

Seven Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Rhome, Texas, serving 667 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northwest Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates that lag behind the district and state averages, particularly for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students.

Despite having a slightly lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district average, Seven Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. Nearby schools within the Northwest ISD, such as Carl E. Schluter Elementary, Haslet Elementary, and J.C. Thompson Elementary, as well as schools outside the district like Springtown Reno Elementary and Walnut Creek Elementary, generally outperform Seven Hills Elementary on academic measures.

The school's leadership and the Northwest Independent School District should closely examine the factors contributing to these disparities and develop a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes, particularly for underperforming subgroups. While increased funding may not be the sole solution, the school should explore how resources are allocated and utilized to better support student learning and address the specific needs of its 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.

Open Quote We moved to the area and I was concerned about the school and the ratings but I was told to ignore that and that it might turn out better than what the ratings said and I couldn't agree more. The school is great and my kids love it and including staff
!! This staff makes you feel like family and i love that it's a smaller school. Close Quote

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.
