Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $9,900, Hughes Road Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in STAAR reading and math assessments. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 47% of 3rd graders and 30% of 4th graders proficient or better in reading, and 39% of 3rd graders and 31% of 4th graders proficient or better in math. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, and it has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools within the Dickinson Independent School District, such as Calder Road Elementary, Hughes Road Elementary significantly underperforms in academic assessments and has a much lower statewide ranking. When compared to schools in the neighboring Clear Creek Independent School District, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced, with schools like Henry Bauerschlag Elementary and League City Elementary consistently ranking in the top quarter of Texas elementary schools and having significantly higher proficiency rates.

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.
