Sanchez Elementary

Summary:

Sanchez Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 438 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 the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sanchez Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.35%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the HISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades was 37.74%, 34%, and 35.42%, respectively, compared to HISD's 44.66%, 46.59%, and 51.32%, and the state's 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and English Language Learners performing particularly poorly on STAAR tests.

Sanchez Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 860 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 (4 stars) to 3,240 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024 (2 stars), suggesting that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state. Compared to nearby schools, such as Davila Elementary and Park Place Elementary, which are also part of the HISD district, Sanchez Elementary has lower STAAR test scores and statewide rankings. However, the school's performance for at-risk students has been relatively strong, with a ranking of 228 out of 4,295 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 (5 stars) and 954 out of 4,461 in 2021-2022 (4 stars).

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.
