Southwest Schools Bissonnet Elementary Campus

Summary:

Southwest Schools Bissonnet Elementary Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 442 students in grades PK-5 in Houston, Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and faces significant academic challenges compared to the state and surrounding schools.

The school's academic performance on STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments is below the state and district averages for all grade levels tested. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American students ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, while its Hispanic students rank in the bottom 20%. Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, its per-student spending is relatively high, ranging from $10,012 to $11,796 over the past three school years, which is higher than the surrounding Neff Elementary, White E Elementary, Best Elementary, Bonham Elementary, Valley West Elementary, Neff Ecc, McNamara Elementary, Milne Elementary, and Step Charter II schools.

The school's enrollment has remained relatively stable over the past few years, with a slight decrease from 442 students in 2022-2023 to 440 students in 2023-2024. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 857 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and its relatively high per-student spending suggest that the school may have the resources and strategies to improve outcomes for all students, but continued monitoring and targeted interventions will be crucial to address the disparities in academic performance across different student subgroups.

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.
