Garden Oaks Montessori

Summary:

Garden Oaks Montessori is a public magnet elementary school serving 798 students in grades PK-8 in the Houston Independent School District. With a diverse student population, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in STAAR reading and math assessments, particularly in Algebra I where 100% of students are proficient or better.

While Garden Oaks Montessori's White and multi-racial students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools, its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) subgroups struggle, performing significantly below state and district averages and ranking in the bottom quartile. The school spends $9,857 per student, higher than the Houston ISD average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18:1 compared to nearby schools like Highland Hts Elementary (16.8:1) and Kennedy Elementary (19.1:1).

The diverse student population and uneven performance across subgroups at Garden Oaks Montessori suggest potential equity and access issues that need to be addressed. As a magnet school, it appears to have an advantage in attracting higher-performing students and resources, but the school's struggles with its Hispanic and ELL students indicate that the magnet school model may not be effectively serving all students. With its higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio, Garden Oaks Montessori has the resources to implement targeted strategies to support its struggling subgroups and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
