Duryea Elementary

Summary:

Duryea Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 827 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.

Duryea Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below their peers at the state level across all grade levels and subject areas on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Duryea students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 36.16% (3rd grade) to 47.13% (4th grade), compared to the district's 57.62%-57.19% and the state's 48.85%-50.66%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, Duryea's proficiency rates ranged from 19.77% (3rd grade) to 30.73% (4th grade), while the district and state averaged 41.29%-50.17% and 40.86%-48.96%, respectively. Duryea's performance on STAAR Science for 5th grade was also significantly lower at 7.98%, compared to the district's 33.7% and the state's 26.29%.

However, Duryea Elementary's Gifted and Talented program appears to be relatively strong, with the school ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools in this category in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. Additionally, the school's at-risk students (those who are economically disadvantaged, English Language Learners, or have other risk factors) performed relatively well, ranking in the top 30-40% of Texas elementary schools in this category in recent years. This suggests that the school may have some academic strengths and be providing effective support and interventions for its most vulnerable students, despite its overall academic challenges. Comparing Duryea to its higher-performing nearby schools, such as Postma Elementary, Emery Elementary, and Walker Elementary, within the same Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District provides valuable insights for identifying areas of focus and best practices that could be replicated to support Duryea's students.

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.
