Sheridan Elementary

Summary:

Sheridan Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 1,280 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, a relatively low statewide ranking between 2,410 and 3,935 out of approximately 4,600 Texas elementary schools, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the CFISD and state averages, and it has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. While the school performs relatively well for Hispanic students, it struggles with the performance of Asian, White, and multi-racial students, as well as male students, English Language Learners, and Gifted and Talented students.

Compared to nearby CFISD schools like Hoover Elementary, Walker Elementary, and McFee Elementary, Sheridan Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures and has a lower statewide ranking, despite serving a similar population of economically disadvantaged students. The two Katy ISD schools included in the data, McRoberts Elementary and Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary, also outperform Sheridan Elementary on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings.

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.
