Roberts Road Elementary

Summary:

Roberts Road Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hockley, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 976. The school is part of the Waller Independent School District, which is ranked 548 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, Roberts Road Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools on academic performance. The school's STAAR assessment scores, particularly in mathematics and science, are generally below the district and state averages, with specific student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, also underperforming compared to state averages. In contrast, the nearby Wells Elementary, Pope Elementary, and Swenke Elementary schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District consistently outperform Roberts Road Elementary on STAAR assessments.

While Roberts Road Elementary has a relatively strong performance in serving its gifted and talented student population, the school faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its diverse student body, particularly the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The district and school should prioritize developing and implementing comprehensive strategies to address these performance gaps and better support the needs of all students at Roberts Road 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.
