Shadycrest Elementary

Summary:

Shadycrest Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Pearland Independent School District (ISD) in Pearland, Texas, with a student population of 595. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, outperforming the district and state averages in academic assessments.

Shadycrest Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistent 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and its strong performance on STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across grades 3 and 4. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like C.J. Harris Elementary and South Belt Elementary, provides students with the opportunity to learn from and interact with peers from different backgrounds. Additionally, Shadycrest Elementary's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 21.16% to 25.21% over the past three years, suggests that the school serves a more affluent community compared to some of the nearby schools.

Another notable aspect of Shadycrest Elementary is its favorable learning environment, with a low student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.8 to 16.7 over the past three years, lower than nearby schools like Magnolia Elementary and Barbara Cockrell Elementary. This indicates that the school is able to provide a more personalized and attentive learning experience for its students, which can contribute to their academic success.

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.
