Summary

Boone Elementary is a K-4 public school in Houston, TX, serving 511 students within the Alief Independent School District (Isd), where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 and per-pupil spending of $12,383—higher than some nearby schools—Boone has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for the past four years, earning a 0-star rating. Test scores in both Reading and Mathematics are well below district and state averages, with only 16.3% of 3rd graders and 23.86% of 4th graders proficient in Math in 2025-2026, roughly half the state average.

What sets Boone apart is its extreme disparity in performance among student groups. The school serves its African American students exceptionally well, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide in 2025-2026 (4 stars), a remarkable bright spot. However, Hispanic students rank in the 2nd percentile (0 stars), and male students rank in the 2nd percentile compared to female students at the 10th percentile. This "tale of two schools" suggests that while Boone has the capacity to implement effective strategies for some groups, it is failing others. Nearby schools like Martin Elementary (55th percentile) and Kennedy Elementary (52nd percentile) perform significantly better overall, and even the lowest-performing Alief peer, Smith Elementary (13th percentile), outperforms Boone.

Boone also faces strong competition from nearby charter schools serving similar demographics. KIPP Shine Prep (76th percentile) and Harmony School Of Exploration- Houston (70th percentile) achieve proficiency rates often double or triple Boone's, such as 74.22% in 4th Grade Math compared to Boone's 23.86%. This shows that high-poverty is not a barrier to success. The school's overall performance has been on a steady decline from the 35th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 4th percentile by 2025-2026, but the rapid improvement for African American students (from 44th to 70th percentile) offers a glimmer of hope. The key is to replicate those successful strategies for Hispanic students and male students, who are currently the lowest-performing subgroups.
