Barbara Cockrell Elementary

Summary:

Barbara Cockrell 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. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top 10-15% of elementary schools in Texas, with strong academic achievement and a diverse student population.

Academically, Barbara Cockrell Elementary excels, with 3rd and 4th-grade students outperforming the state and district averages in STAAR reading and math assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, 71.43% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to just 50.66% statewide. The school's diverse student body is also noteworthy, with a racial makeup of 23.88% White, 6.33% African American, 55.15% Hispanic, and 10.95% Asian - higher diversity than many nearby schools like Shadycrest Elementary and E.A. Lawhon Elementary.

While the school has maintained its strong academic performance, it has also seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.15% in 2020-2021 to 43.4% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. However, Barbara Cockrell Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.8 to 17.1 over the past three years, may contribute to its success in supporting all students, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
