Services-Ninos Charter Elementary

Summary:

Services-Ninos Charter Elementary is a public charter school in Houston, Texas that serves 516 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of over 96%. While the school has struggled academically, with lower test scores and a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some interesting insights to consider.

Compared to nearby schools, Services-Ninos Charter Elementary is underperforming. For example, Amigos Por Vida-Friends For Life Charter School has a higher 4-star rating and better test scores. Services-Ninos also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past several years, dropping from a ranking of 1,148 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2,795 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024.

However, the school does perform better in certain subgroups, such as English Language Learners and At-Risk students, compared to the state and Houston Independent School District averages. Services-Ninos is also located in close proximity to several other underperforming public schools, including Cunningham Elementary and Rodriguez Elementary. This suggests that the challenges facing Services-Ninos may be systemic within the local education system, and that targeted interventions and support could be beneficial for the entire community.

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.
