Edgewood Elementary

Summary:

Edgewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 539 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), which is ranked 318 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Edgewood Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (88.13%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (87.94%).

Academically, Edgewood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower STAAR test scores compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.63% of 3rd-grade students at Edgewood Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 59.03% in the SBISD district and 48.85% statewide. This suggests that the challenges faced by Edgewood Elementary may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the overall district performance, as nearby schools like Valley Oaks Elementary and Treasure Forest Elementary have significantly higher academic achievement.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Edgewood Elementary appears to be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance, which aligns with research suggesting that socioeconomic status is a strong predictor of academic achievement. To address these challenges, Edgewood Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs, as well as collaboration with nearby high-performing schools within the Spring Branch Independent School District to gain insights and strategies for improving academic outcomes.

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.
