Katy Elementary

Summary:

Katy Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 682 students. The school is part of the Katy Independent School District, which is ranked 158 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Katy Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with consistently high rankings in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's students, particularly its Gifted and Talented program, perform well above the district and state averages on STAAR tests, especially in reading and mathematics. Katy Elementary also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student compared to the state.

However, the school has seen a decline in racial diversity in recent years, with a growing percentage of White students and decreasing representation of African American and Hispanic students. This trend contrasts with nearby schools like Leonard Elementary and Robert King Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Katy Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented and White students outperforming other groups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

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.
