John Winship Elementary

Summary:

John Winship Elementary is a public elementary school in Spring, Texas, serving 471 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Winship Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (30.57%) and Hispanic (43.95%) students compared to the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively well, ranking 1,003 out of 3,487 Texas elementary schools for this group in 2021-2022. The school also has a high percentage of students (71.97% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other elementary schools in the same district, Salyers Elementary has even lower academic outcomes, while Sam Houston State University Charter School outperforms John Winship Elementary. The school's challenges in supporting its special education and economically disadvantaged student populations suggest a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of these student groups.

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.

Open Quote Most of the teachers and staff are great. Some the students, not so much. There are a couple of homes for delinquent kids nearby and those kids attend Winship. They are generally disruptive, unruly, and foul-mouthed. Close Quote

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.
