Summary

Robert Crippen Elementary is a public elementary school in Porter, Texas, serving 755 students in grades PK-5 as part of the New Caney Independent School District (ISD). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with academic performance generally below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests.

Robert Crippen Elementary faces several challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (71.92%) and a diverse student population with significant percentages of Hispanic (46.4%), African American (22.1%), and White (26.8%) students. While the school's per-student spending has increased and the student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, these resources have not translated into significant improvements in the school's overall performance. Compared to nearby schools within the New Caney ISD, such as New Caney Elementary, Brookwood Forest Elementary, and Oakley Elementary, Robert Crippen Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR tests and has a lower ranking from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with the percentage of African American students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd grade (46.8%) being lower than the overall 3rd-grade population (50%). Similarly, the school's performance for English Language Learners and students with special needs is also below the overall school averages. Overall, Robert Crippen Elementary faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing the disparities among its diverse student population.
