Cedar Brook Elementary

Summary:

Cedar Brook Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 657 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District, which is ranked 318 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar Brook Elementary has shown fluctuating academic performance on the STAAR tests, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's STAAR reading and math proficiency rates were generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 5th-grade Spanish reading, where Cedar Brook outperformed. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 1,343 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 (rated 4 out of 5 stars) to 3,261 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 out of 5 stars). This inconsistent performance is also reflected in the school's SchoolDigger rating, which has varied between 1 and 4 stars over the years.

Cedar Brook Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 73.36% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 10.84% at the nearby higher-performing Valley Oaks Elementary. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $9,768 in 2018-2019 to $11,858 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the $10,162 spent per student at Valley Oaks Elementary in 2020-2021. These factors suggest that Cedar Brook Elementary may face additional challenges in supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
