Summary

Adam Elementary is a PK-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 957 students within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), and it has consistently earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, with a current state ranking in the 55th percentile.

Adam Elementary stands out as a steady performer in a neighborhood of highly variable school quality. While nearby Hamilton Elementary is a top-tier, 5-star school (95th percentile), and schools like Emmott Elementary and Francone Elementary are struggling (20th and 28th percentiles respectively), Adam has remained in the 55th-62nd percentile range for the last three years. This consistency is a key differentiator from its more volatile neighbors. Notably, Adam Elementary is located just 1.01 miles from Danish Elementary, and despite serving a similar demographic, Adam consistently outperforms Danish in overall state ranking (55th percentile vs. 39th percentile in 2025-2026), suggesting more effective instructional strategies or school culture.

A critical differentiator is the stark contrast between Adam's Reading and Math performance. In the most recent school year, Adam's Reading scores were competitive, with 4th and 5th graders outperforming the state average, but its Math scores were a significant weakness, with all three grades scoring below both the district and state averages. This gap is more pronounced at Adam than at many of its peers. The school also shows a fascinating dichotomy in its ability to serve different student populations: it is exceptionally effective with its Gifted and Talented students (77th percentile statewide) but struggles significantly with its English Language Learner students (39th percentile). This suggests that while the school has robust enrichment programs for advanced learners, it may need to re-evaluate and strengthen its support systems for students who are not yet proficient in English.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Before you read my long-winded review, please understand that it contains information about our ADD first-grader; and we are VERY aware of his ability to disrupt a classroom or mishandle personal conflicts. We are NOT the parents that say "my child does no wrong".

We have one son in normal classes, and one in the Gifted & Talented program. We must say that the Ms. Lee, our youngest son's Kindergarten teacher was named Teacher of the Year in 2009 and has been amazing! However...

The level of communication and follow-up from the GT Teacher, and Assistant Principal has been almost non-existent. Weekly student reports have been jaded or, in some cases, complete fabrications. Our GT child is ADD and we are aware of his behavioral issues. We have done everything to stress our need for communication and input from his teacher... however the result has been SUBSTANDARD AT BEST!

One week we get a good report and the next week we get a report that he has been having issues for a few weeks (thus nullifying the previous good report). The last two weeks we received good reports from his teacher, only to find she had moved him to a table by himself; isolated from the rest of his class. We have found her to be completely irresponsible in keeping her word (on any level) about our son, and cannot say much more for the Assistant Principal.

Upon requesting information on one event, she went almost a month without responding, and on two occasions has not responded at all (although she has our phone numbers, email addresses, and we are at the school daily).

If your child has ADD and possesses a higher intelligence, Adam is the LAST PLACE we can recommend. We have instead chosen to homeschool our son next year to work on issues that his "teacher" (for lack of a more politically correct term) has completely overlooked or worsened based on her own complacency and apathy with any challenging student.
