Calvert Elementary

Summary:

Calvert Elementary is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving 539 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calvert Elementary stands out in several key areas. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (74.4%) compared to nearby schools, and it outperforms the district and state averages in reading and mathematics proficiency for 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students. The school also performs better than the district and state averages for several student subgroups, including African American students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, and there are still significant performance gaps between student subgroups, with the school's Gifted and Talented students ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools.

While Calvert Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Aldine Independent School District, the nearby North Central Elementary charter school outperforms Calvert Elementary in several areas, including higher statewide rankings and better test scores. Additionally, Calvert Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 93%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of poverty among the student population, which may contribute to the school's challenges in improving student performance.

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.
