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 From a student:Simply put, Renner is an amazing school. Close Quote


by a parent
Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Open Quote The only good thing about this school is 2 teachers and the location. my child attended 6th grade in 09-10. The teachers are rude and disrespectful. They are constantly yelling at the children and putting them down. The power math teacher was so bad, we had to have our child moved from her class immediately by the principal. The only way we were able to have our child removed from her class was because the teacher was caught on film yelling, pointing her finger, and shoving my son in the corner. She couldn't lie any more about how she was treating the kids because it was on film. Sad thing she is still employed with the school. The other math teacher had the nerve to threaten my child about his grade in math. I guess she was upset because he was accepted to a private school and she really did not like that. Band teachers embarrass the children and belittle them. One of the counselors does the same thing yell at the kids, parents or who ever she is talking to at that particular moment. It is very sad, the status the school has , it is not based on teachers AT ALL it is based on TAKS scores, PTA involvement. I would not recommend this school to anyone. If you can go private or magnet school. Close Quote

Open Quote I feel like this school could be better. I mean the teachers teach, but no one really listens. Kids are swearing left and right, and if you are a student, one wrong move and you could end up lying on the floor from a fight. Kid steal and bully and get away with it. I'm one of the lucky ones who manage to blend. 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.
