Young Elementary

Summary:

Young Elementary is a public elementary school in Pasadena, Texas, serving 595 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. 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.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $10,873, Young Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on STAAR assessments, particularly in Mathematics. The school's performance is especially concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the bottom 10% and 25% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. This may be due to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.78% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Pasadena Isd, such as Jensen Elementary, Genoa Elementary, and Bailey Elementary, generally perform better on STAAR assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the nearby Southeast Elementary, a charter school, also outperforms Young Elementary, particularly in Mathematics and Spanish-language assessments. These comparisons suggest that targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the school's challenges may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Young 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.
