Atkinson Elementary

Summary:

Atkinson Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 466 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atkinson Elementary's student performance on STAAR tests has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. While their 4th grade reading proficiency was higher than the district, it was still lower than the state. In mathematics, the school's 3rd grade proficiency was lower than the district and state, but their 4th grade proficiency was similar to the district. The school's performance for English Language Learners and students with special needs has also been varied, with rankings ranging from the top 30% to the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. Nearby Thomas Hancock Elementary, Frazier Elementary, and Stuchbery Elementary generally performed better than Atkinson on STAAR tests, despite having a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Atkinson Elementary's performance is generally on par with or better than the nearby International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) and Beta Academy charter schools, which had significantly lower performance on STAAR tests. The school's Gifted and Talented program was also ranked in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools, indicating that it is providing strong support for its high-achieving students. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its overall performance, and it may benefit from additional resources and support to address the 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.

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.
