Francone Elementary

Summary:

Francone Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 804 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Francone Elementary faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of African American (38.56%) and Hispanic (49.75%) students compared to nearby schools, consistently low academic performance with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and a very high percentage (over 88%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $10,800, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student outcomes.

When comparing Francone Elementary to nearby schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, such as Adam Elementary, Hancock Elementary, and Willbern Elementary, the nearby schools generally have a more diverse racial makeup, better academic performance, and lower rates of economic disadvantage, indicating that Francone Elementary may need targeted strategies and additional support to address the underlying factors contributing to its struggles.

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.
