Meyer Elementary

Summary:

Meyer Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 658 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Spring Independent School District. The school faces significant academic challenges, with the majority of its predominantly Hispanic and African American student population performing well below state and district averages on standardized assessments.

Meyer Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on STAAR Reading and Mathematics tests compared to state and district averages. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 90-93% over the past three years, likely contributes to these academic struggles. However, the nearby Lemm Elementary in the Klein Independent School District demonstrates significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help improve outcomes at Meyer Elementary.

While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall average, they still lag behind state and district benchmarks. The school's English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups have the lowest proficiency rates, well below state and district averages. Meyer Elementary's academic performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, with no significant improvements observed, despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools.

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.
