McGowen Elementary

Summary:

McGowen Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 385 students in grades PK-5, with a predominantly African American (62.6%) and Hispanic (35.06%) student population and a high percentage (98.7%) of students from low-income families.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $10,460, McGowen Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the state and Houston Independent School District (HISD) averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 29.55% (4th grade) to 44.23% (3rd grade), compared to the state averages of 50.66% and 48.85%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.09% to 36.36% in Mathematics and only 6.67% in 5th grade Science, compared to state averages of 40.86% to 48.96% in Mathematics and 26.29% in 5th grade Science.

Compared to nearby schools within the HISD district, such as Scroggins Elementary, a public magnet school that performs significantly better than McGowen Elementary, and The Varnett School - Northeast, a charter school that also outperforms McGowen, the academic achievement gaps are concerning. Addressing these challenges and improving educational outcomes for the predominantly African American and Hispanic student population should be a priority for the school and the Houston Independent School District.

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.
