Rosa Parks Elementary

Summary:

Rosa Parks Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, Texas, serving 651 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District. However, this school faces significant challenges compared to its nearby counterparts.

Rosa Parks Elementary has a much higher percentage of African American students (62.06%) than surrounding schools, which range from 18.36% to 78.33% African American. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Its STAAR test scores are well below district and state averages. Additionally, 75.88% of Rosa Parks students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school spends significantly more per student ($11,806) than nearby schools ($9,408 to $16,127 per student).

Interestingly, Rosa Parks Elementary's performance has steadily declined over the past decade, from ranking 1,890 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 4,040 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. While African American students perform better than the overall school, Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform much worse. Compared to nearby schools like Sienna Crossing Elementary and Palmer Elementary, Rosa Parks has significantly lower academic performance and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, despite being in the same district. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted strategies may be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Rosa Parks Elementary.

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.
