Veterans Hill Elementary

Summary:

Veterans Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Round Rock, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 628. The school is part of the Hutto Independent School District, which is ranked 499 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Veterans Hill Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (51.91%) and Asian (7.64%) students compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school performs better than the Hutto district average in most STAAR test subjects and grades, with its 5th-grade reading proficiency rate of 54.76% exceeding the district's 51.73% and the state's 53.96%. The school particularly excels for African American students, ranking in the top 259 out of 2,443 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023. However, it struggles with Asian and multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Texas schools.

While Veterans Hill Elementary maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it lags behind the higher-performing Round Rock Independent School District schools, such as Linda Herrington Elementary and Redbud Elementary. However, Veterans Hill Elementary's higher per-student spending ($10,535 in 2020-2021) and lower student-teacher ratio (13.9 in 2022-2023) compared to the Hutto district average may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance.

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.

Open Quote My daughter is in the 2nd grade. I'm not so sure this new school is challenging my daughter academically. She has no homework, they are cutting and pasting in the second grade, etc. I just dont feel this school is challenging or preparing her very much to compete with other kids her age level.

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.
