Houston

Summary:

Houston is an elementary school located in Acampo, CA that serves grades KG-8 with a total enrollment of 150 students. The school is part of the Lodi Unified School District, which is ranked 951 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Houston's performance is concerning, with significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower test scores, and lower student group performance compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.3% of Houston students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 37.78% for Lodi Unified and 47.04% for California. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.67% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby Oak View Elementary (42.48%) and Clyde W. Needham Elementary (96.54%).

Houston's performance has been consistently low, ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools for the past several years, and the gap between the school and the district/state averages appears to be widening over time. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch suggest that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic and other challenges that are impacting student learning and achievement. While Houston's performance is concerning, the nearby schools in the Lodi Unified District also generally perform below the state average, indicating that the district as a whole may be struggling. However, the higher-performing Oak View Elementary, which is in a different district, suggests that strong academic performance is possible in the region.

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.
