Royal Elementary

Summary:

Royal Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brookshire, Texas, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 762 students. The school is part of the Royal Independent School District, which is ranked 876 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royal Elementary is a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. This is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners, who perform much worse than their peers. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

Comparison to nearby schools in the Katy Independent School District and Lamar Consolidated Independent School District reveals that Royal Elementary is significantly outperformed by its neighbors. For example, Jenks Elementary, located just 8.55 miles away, ranked in the top 3% of Texas elementary schools and had much higher STAAR proficiency rates than Royal Elementary. This suggests that Royal Elementary could benefit from additional support, resources, and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
