Summary

Francone Elementary is a PK-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 734 students as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd). The school has historically struggled to match the district's above-average performance, consistently ranking in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools over the past decade. With approximately 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Francone serves a high-needs population, and its most recent data shows a significant drop to the 28th percentile statewide, earning it a 1-star rating.

The most critical academic weakness at Francone is in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are drastically below both district and state averages across all tested grades. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency was just 23.01% in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to the district's 43.68%. This is not a one-year issue; the school has consistently underperformed in math for the past four years. In contrast, reading scores tell a more nuanced story—5th-grade reading proficiency (62.24%) actually exceeded the state average (58.47%), suggesting pockets of instructional strength. Additionally, the school has shown a remarkable ability to support its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 55th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating.

When compared to nearby schools, Francone stands out as one of the lowest-performing in its immediate vicinity. For instance, Gleason Elementary (75th percentile) and Bang Elementary (56th percentile) significantly outperform Francone. Notably, Willbern Elementary, located just 0.75 miles away and serving a similar demographic profile (76% free/reduced lunch), consistently outperforms Francone, ranking in the 56th percentile. This proximity suggests that Francone's challenges are not solely due to its student population but also reflect school-specific instructional practices and resource allocation. The school's performance for Special Education students has also seen a sharp decline, dropping from the 38th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 16th percentile in 2025-2026.
