While Pomeroy Elementary's performance on STAAR assessments is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, the school stands out for its strong performance on STAAR Spanish assessments, especially in 4th-grade reading and mathematics. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking higher for English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students, but lower for Female, Male, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Pomeroy Elementary also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.92% to 92.4% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools within the Pasadena ISD, such as Kruse Elementary, McMasters Elementary, and Red Bluff Elementary, Pomeroy Elementary's performance on STAAR assessments is generally lower. However, the nearby schools in the Deer Park ISD, such as Deepwater Elementary and Parkwood Elementary, tend to have higher overall performance on STAAR assessments compared to Pomeroy Elementary.

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.
