Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary

Summary:

Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 796 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Katy Independent School District.

The school faces several key challenges, including a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, declining academic performance, and disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. While the school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (58.29%) and African American (18.97%) students compared to state and district averages, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the Katy ISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (47.86%) is significantly lower than the district (66.61%) and state (48.85%) averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (78.64%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR test scores and a lower statewide ranking. For instance, McRoberts Elementary, located just 0.58 miles away, consistently outperforms Jack & Sharon Rhoads Elementary across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance for English Language Learners and students with special needs is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools in recent years. Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, its per-student spending ($11,606 in 2020-2021) is lower than the district and state averages, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.

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.
