Union Hill Elementary

Summary:

Union Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Round Rock, Texas, serving 668 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD), which is ranked 216 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

While Union Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.93%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, lags behind the RRISD and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.66% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 61.72% for RRISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school's rankings for specific student groups, such as Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students, are generally in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Additionally, Union Hill Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.44% to 67.51% over the past three years, suggesting a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Union Hill Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined from 2018-2019 to 2023-2024, dropping from the 3rd to the 1st SchoolDigger star rating. This suggests a concerning trend in the school's overall academic performance. While the school's spending per student, ranging from $10,035 to $11,479 over the past three years, is higher than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. For example, Teravista Elementary, which is 1.52 miles away, consistently outperforms Union Hill Elementary across all grade levels and subjects.

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.
