Salyers Elementary

Summary:

Salyers Elementary is a public elementary school in Spring, Texas, serving 672 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. Salyers Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent years.

Salyers Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (61.01%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, as well as a lower percentage of White students (4.32%). Academically, the school consistently underperforms compared to the Spring ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.77% of 3rd graders, 13.79% of 4th graders, and 15.25% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%, respectively. Additionally, Salyers Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 89%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,973 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Salyers Elementary's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements, and the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are allocated and utilized to better support student learning. Nearby schools, such as Pearl M. Hirsch Elementary and Smith Elementary, which are also part of the Spring ISD, perform significantly better than Salyers Elementary on academic measures, highlighting the need to understand the factors that contribute to their success and explore ways to replicate those strategies at Salyers Elementary.

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.
