Hunters Creek Elementary

Summary:

Hunters Creek Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 604 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD). The school consistently outperforms district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking among the top 5% of Texas elementary schools.

Hunters Creek Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade students scored 79.28% proficient or better on the STAAR Reading test, compared to 61.77% for SBISD and 53.96% for Texas. This consistent high performance has earned Hunters Creek a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 282 out of 4,675 schools. The school's diverse student population, with 62.91% White, 17.72% Hispanic, and 10.43% Asian students, stands out compared to nearby schools that tend to have higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

While Hunters Creek Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, the significant differences in performance and student demographics between the school and some of its neighbors within the SBISD district, such as Bunker Hill Elementary, raise questions about equity and the distribution of resources within the district. This highlights the need to ensure that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have access to the same high-quality educational opportunities.

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.
