Genoa Elementary

Summary:

Genoa Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 568 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 the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Genoa Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 27.4% of 3rd-grade students and 28.74% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85% and 50.66%, respectively. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, only 8.22% of 3rd-grade students and 22.73% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.86% and 44.67%. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (88.2%) may contribute to these academic struggles.

Genoa Elementary's performance is consistently lower than nearby schools within the Pasadena ISD, such as Meador Elementary, Teague Elementary, and Stuchbery Elementary. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Meador Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics compared to Genoa Elementary. The nearby Southeast Elementary, a charter school, also outperformed Genoa Elementary on STAAR tests.

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.
