Taylor Ray Elementary

Summary:

Taylor Ray Elementary is a public elementary school in Rosenberg, Texas, serving 560 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. The school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, particularly among its diverse student population.

Taylor Ray Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (85.54%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Phelan Elementary and Cora Thomas Elementary. Despite this, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently perform at high levels, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's 3rd-grade STAAR Reading proficiency rate of 72.62% is significantly higher than the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 63.6%, while its 5th-grade STAAR Mathematics proficiency rate of 59.55% also exceeds the state and district averages.

However, Taylor Ray Elementary faces challenges in supporting its special education and gifted and talented student groups, which rank in the lower half of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (94.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. Despite these obstacles, Taylor Ray Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the past decade, demonstrating its commitment to educational excellence and its ability to effectively serve its diverse student population.

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.
