Northgate Elementary

Summary:

Northgate Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 727 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Spring Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students.

Northgate Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby John Winship Elementary and Salyers Elementary, also in the Spring ISD. The school's reading scores, particularly among African American and low-socioeconomic status students, are a notable strength, with 56.7% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 39.04% for the district and 53.96% for the state. However, the school's math performance lags behind, with only 45.36% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Math, compared to 35.09% for the district and 48.96% for the state.

Northgate Elementary's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students present both challenges and opportunities. The school's special education and multi-racial student subgroups have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, while the African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 30%. Collaboration with higher-performing schools in the Klein ISD and Conroe ISD, such as Zwink Elementary, Broadway Elementary, Hailey Elementary, Snyder Elementary, and Ford Elementary, could provide valuable insights and best practices to help Northgate Elementary improve its overall academic outcomes.

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.
