Carver Elementary

Summary:

Carver Elementary is a public elementary school in Baytown, Texas, serving 636 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 706 out of 968 districts in Texas, Carver Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, socioeconomic status, and resource allocation compared to its nearby counterparts.

Carver Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below state and district averages on STAAR tests, particularly for Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students. The school's high percentage of students (over 90%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In contrast, the nearby Alamo Elementary, Stephen F. Austin Elementary, and Crockett Elementary generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

Carver Elementary's academic performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2138 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 3787 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. The school's consistently low rankings, poor STAAR test results, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes, such as implementing more intensive academic programs, attracting and retaining high-quality teachers, and collaborating with community organizations to provide resources for students and their families.

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.
