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 I would like to say that when I first came to Pearland I was excited to move into my new home. When I walked into Rustic Oak Elementary School I was highly disappointed with the office staff members. They never smiled, they never said please nor thank you, needless to say I did not feel welcomed. At first I thought well maybe it's just me overly thinking things but when I saw other people come in stating they were new to Pearland they gave them the same stinking attitude. These people walk around like robots "just doing their job". They act the same way towards the kids (no emotions). The only people that I have seen go out of their way to help, smile, or just say hello is the School Nurse and the Counselor. If I would need anything from Rustic Oak I would definitely go to the Mrs Hinshaw the counselor or Mrs Scott the nurse. I'm not saying all Pearland staff are the same because I have a child in Alexander Middle School and the staff is amazing. You feel the warmth as soon as you walk in that place and no matter what they are dealing with they don't show their frustration on you. I truly hope someone from Rustic Oak reads this and starts making a change. A smile is contagious. 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.
