Q: Is The School For International Studies At Bammel a good school?

The School For International Studies At Bammel ranks 3157 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

The School For International Studies At Bammel is a small elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with just 94 students. It is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (68.09%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 30-58% Hispanic. It also has a much lower percentage of White students (2.13%) than the surrounding area. Academically, The School For International Studies At Bammel consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR reading and math assessments, with only 18.18% of 3rd graders proficient in reading compared to 48.85% statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (82.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the 89-96% range of nearby schools.

Despite its small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, The School For International Studies At Bammel has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past two years. This suggests systemic challenges in student achievement that may be linked to the significant socioeconomic factors facing the school's population. Addressing these issues will require targeted support and resources to meet the unique needs of this community, especially in comparison to the other Spring ISD schools, most of which also struggle academically.

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.
