Martinez R Elementary

Summary:

Martinez R Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 428 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Martinez R Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance generally below the district and state averages, particularly in reading and science. However, the school does perform better than some nearby schools, such as Henderson N Elementary and Isaacs Elementary, in certain subject areas and grade levels. The school's high percentage of students (over 96%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests significant economic challenges in the community, which likely contribute to the school's overall academic performance.

While Martinez R Elementary faces socioeconomic hurdles, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement. The school's performance is still better than some of its nearby peers, and exploring the practices of higher-performing schools within the district, such as Pugh Elementary and Eliot Elementary, may provide insights into how Martinez R Elementary can drive academic progress, particularly in areas like science and among certain student subgroups.

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.
