Summary:

Ridge Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Humble, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,125 students. The school is part of the Humble Independent School District, which is ranked 476 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridge Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,047 and 3,655 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.41% of 3rd-grade students at Ridge Creek Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.34% for the Humble ISD district and 48.85% for the state of Texas. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better performance for African American and Hispanic students, but struggles with the performance of White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students.

Nearby schools within the Humble ISD district show a wide range of academic performance, with some schools significantly outperforming Ridge Creek Elementary on STAAR tests. For example, Groves Elementary and Atascocita Springs Elementary rank in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools and significantly outperform Ridge Creek Elementary across all subject areas and grade levels. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Ridge Creek Elementary (74.22%) is a significant factor that likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, as nearby schools with lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students tend to perform better academically.

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.
