Mildred Jenkins Elementary

Summary:

Mildred Jenkins Elementary is a public elementary school in Spring, Texas, serving 623 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mildred Jenkins Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 3,230 and 4,081 out of over 4,000 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 23.81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 29.96%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, who ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023.

While Mildred Jenkins Elementary spends more per student ($12,293 in 2020-2021) and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 compared to the state and district averages, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (90.53%) may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance, and the differences in academic outcomes between Mildred Jenkins Elementary and nearby schools like John Winship Elementary suggest that factors beyond just student demographics may be influencing the school's persistent challenges.

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.
