Barbara Jordan Elementary

Summary:

Barbara Jordan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Richmond, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 492. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a diverse student population, with 36.99% African American, 33.74% Hispanic, 18.09% Asian, 6.3% White, and 4.47% two or more races, its academic performance has been a concern. The school's STAAR reading, mathematics, and science proficiency rates are all below the district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 1149 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2784 out of 4647 in 2022-2023. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well above the state average, while White, Asian, and Special Education students lag behind.

When compared to nearby schools within the Fort Bend Independent School District, such as Mission West Elementary and James Patterson Elementary, Barbara Jordan Elementary generally performs below the district averages in STAAR proficiency rates. However, some schools in the neighboring Alief Independent School District have lower proficiency rates in certain subject areas, suggesting that Barbara Jordan Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and review its instructional practices to address the performance gaps and improve its overall academic standing.

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.
