Raymond Elementary

Public, Magnet Grades 1-5

Summary

Raymond Elementary is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving 374 students in grades 1-5. It is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 740 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,291 and a low student-teacher ratio, Raymond Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was significantly lower than the district and state scores across all grade levels. The school has also ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing Raymond Elementary to other nearby schools within the Aldine Independent School District, it becomes evident that the school's academic performance is significantly lower than its peers. For instance, Worsham Elementary and Odom Elementary consistently outperform Raymond Elementary on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. The school's unique demographic and resource allocation characteristics, as well as the stark contrast with nearby higher-performing schools, suggest the need for a comprehensive review and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent academic challenges.
