Oppe Elementary

Summary:

Oppe Elementary is a public elementary school in Galveston, Texas, serving 610 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Galveston Independent School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms its district and state counterparts, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 10-15% of Texas elementary schools.

Oppe Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its STAAR test scores, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages in both reading and math for 3rd and 4th grades. The school also excels in supporting the academic success of diverse student populations, including Asian, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students, as well as English Language Learners and students identified as "At Risk." This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student.

Compared to nearby schools in the Galveston area, such as Rosenberg Elementary Laboratory For Learning And Leading, Morgan Elementary Magnet School, Burnet Elementary, and Parker Elementary, Oppe Elementary consistently outperforms them in both academic achievement and statewide rankings, making it a standout institution in the Galveston area.

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.
