Ignite Community School - Pasadena

Summary:

Ignite Community School - Pasadena is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Pasadena, TX, with a student population of 221. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body (70.59%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.64%).

Despite being part of the Texas College Preparatory Academies district, Ignite Community School - Pasadena has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and its district. The school's proficiency rates on the STAAR assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade reading, Ignite's proficiency rate was 11.54%, compared to the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 49.72%. The school's statewide ranking is also very low, consistently placing in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ignite Community School - Pasadena's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby public schools in the Pasadena Independent School District and the Deer Park Independent School District. For example, at the 3rd grade level, Ignite's reading proficiency rate was less than half of the rates at nearby schools like Parks Elementary, Jensen Elementary, and Fairmont Elementary. Additionally, Ignite Community School - Pasadena has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, further indicating the school's struggles to provide a quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
