ROSS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ROSS EL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the HOUSTON ISD school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 353 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, ROSS EL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

ROSS ELementary School (officially known as Betsy ROSS ELementary) is a public school serving the Greater Fifth Ward neighborhood in Houston, Texas. As part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), the school is committed to providing foundational education to its local community. Its location on Bay Street places it within an area with deep historical roots, and it functions as a neighborhood hub for families living in the surrounding area.

Like many schools within HISD, ROSS ELementary focuses on academic development through a standard core curriculum, often supported by district-wide initiatives aimed at improving literacy and numeracy. The school operates under the broader mission of the Houston Independent School District, which emphasizes equity, student achievement, and preparing children for the transition to middle school.
