Summary

Post Elementary in Houston, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd) serving 798 students in a diverse urban area, with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its consistent mid-tier performance, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade and ranking in the 58th percentile statewide—a reliable, average-performing option in a highly variable local landscape. While nearby schools like Hairgrove Elementary (85th percentile) and Gleason Elementary (75th percentile) consistently outperform it, and schools like Bane Elementary (19th percentile) and Reed Elementary (41st percentile) underperform, Post Elementary remains a stable choice.

A key strength is its exceptional performance in 4th Grade Reading, where 73.95% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, significantly outpacing both the district (64.16%) and state (53.73%). However, the school faces a persistent challenge in 5th Grade Math, with proficiency rates consistently below district and state averages—for example, 33.61% in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 49.61%. This "grade-level dip" suggests a need for targeted intervention in math, especially as 4th Grade Math remains a relative strength. Notably, the school has shown signs of improvement from a low point in 2022-2023, with most student subgroups improving significantly since then.

An interesting comparison is with Harmony School Of Excellence-Houston, a charter school less than a mile away that outperforms Post in nearly every subject, particularly in math (e.g., 54.62% proficiency in 3rd Grade Math vs. Post's 35.45%). Additionally, the "Hairgrove Anomaly" shows that Hairgrove Elementary, despite a higher poverty rate (89.43% free/reduced lunch), outperforms Post in every subject, suggesting effective instructional strategies that Post could learn from. For parents, Post Elementary offers a stable, mid-tier option with a notable strength in reading, but math performance—especially in 5th grade—remains an area of concern.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, March 27, 2017

Post is a toxic place which views students as numbers and fails to use best teaching practices. My son had nothing but constant drills and practice sheets. Where are the projects? Research? Creative collaboration? Not at Post.

Physically, Post is a depressing place. Walk down any hallway and crying children can be heard. The bathrooms are filthy. The classrooms chaotic. Both teachers and students look distressed. Why are the children walking in lines like it's a prison? Why is the principal always frowning? Administration just nods and keeps doing what they want. Parent input is not valued.

Be cautioned that this school permits the open display of Christmas trees and Easter decorations throughout the hallways and inside many teacher classrooms. It can be overwhelming for children who are not Christian. We have addressed the bias with the District and have been told that "racism is more important than anti-Semitism". Tread carefully. In our case, we transferred our boys to Harmony. Much safe. Close Quote
