Braeburn Elementary

Summary:

Braeburn Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 829 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (90.95%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (98.43%).

Braeburn Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.99% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.66% for the Houston Independent School District and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups.

In comparison, nearby schools like Herod Elementary and Condit Elementary have more diverse student populations and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, and they generally perform better on STAAR tests. This suggests that demographic factors, such as the high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students at Braeburn Elementary, may be contributing to the school's persistent academic challenges.

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.
