Summary

Baker-Ripley Charter School is a small elementary school in Houston, TX, serving 398 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it has recently become a standout turnaround story in a neighborhood where many nearby schools are struggling.

The most important thing for parents to know is that Baker-Ripley is on a strong upward trajectory. After hitting a low point in the 2022-2023 school year, the school has improved dramatically, jumping from the 7th percentile statewide to the 35th percentile in just three years. This is a remarkable recovery, especially when compared to nearby schools like Benavidez Elementary (4th percentile) and Etoile Academy Charter School (1st percentile), which remain at the very bottom. The school serves a highly disadvantaged population, with over 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has achieved this progress with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 and spending of $11,323 per student—a more efficient use of resources than many underperforming schools in the area. Notably, Baker-Ripley now outperforms its own district, Bakerripley Community Schools, in five out of six core subject and grade combinations.

While the school has shown broad-based improvement, there are specific areas of strength and weakness to consider. The school is a top performer for its African American student population, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide. However, science scores remain a critical weakness, with only 10.4% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025. For context, the highest-performing school in the immediate area is KIPP Connect Houston Pri (77th percentile), which sets a clear benchmark for what is possible in the same neighborhood. If Baker-Ripley can replicate its recent success in reading and math in science, it could see another significant jump in its overall ranking.
