Elrod Elementary

Summary:

Elrod Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 701 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elrod Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the HISD and Texas state averages, particularly in the earlier grade levels. However, the school's students demonstrate stronger performance on STAAR Spanish assessments compared to their English-language counterparts and the district/state averages. The school's African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) student groups have performed relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools, while the Asian and gifted and talented student groups have struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile. Elrod Elementary's special education student group has also performed poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile in recent years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the HISD district, such as Bonham Elementary and Valley West Elementary, Elrod Elementary generally performs at a similar or slightly lower level in terms of academic achievement and school rankings. However, the school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments stands out as a relative strength compared to its peers, suggesting the potential for Elrod Elementary to share its effective practices and strategies for supporting Spanish-speaking students with other schools in the area.

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.
