E A Lawhon Elementary

Summary:

E A Lawhon Elementary is a public elementary school in Pearland, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Pearland Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population and a student-teacher ratio of 14.9, with 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

E A Lawhon Elementary performs particularly well in certain areas, with its 4th-grade reading and math proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. The school's Asian and African American students rank exceptionally high compared to other Texas elementary schools, with 5-star ratings. However, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students with special needs is more average or below average, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve outcomes for these groups.

While E A Lawhon Elementary maintains a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, nearby schools like Barbara Cockrell Elementary and Challenger Elementary generally perform better on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and math. This may be due in part to the lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at these schools. Overall, E A Lawhon Elementary is a solid-performing school, but there is room for improvement, especially in addressing the needs of its Hispanic and special needs student populations.

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 This past 2 years (2017-2018) my son was on Kindergarten and First grade respectively, and both years he had wonderful teachers and made amazing progress. He is in the Dual Language program and he is a fluent reader both in English and Spanish. The teachers were committed and very professional. I’m proud that he is in Lawhon. I am glad to see the School ranking went up this year. Hope they keep up the great work. 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.
