Summary
Frazier Elementary is a PK-5 campus in Houston, TX, serving 601 students as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), a district rated above average, though the school itself has historically performed below the state average, currently earning a 2-star rating at the 44th percentile.
Frazier faces significant challenges, with 89-92% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a high level of economic disadvantage that impacts academic outcomes. The most critical area of concern is mathematics, where proficiency rates are drastically lower than district and state averages across all grade levels—for example, only 28% of 3rd graders met math standards compared to 44% statewide. However, there are bright spots: 5th-grade reading proficiency (61%) actually exceeded the state average (58%), and the school has shown a promising upward trend for low-socioeconomic-status students, improving from the 35th to the 58th percentile in recent years. Notably, Frazier spends more per student ($12,785) than many higher-performing nearby schools, such as Gleason Elementary ($9,299) and Post Elementary ($10,658), suggesting that resource allocation, not lack of funding, is key to improvement.
When compared to nearby schools, Frazier is the lowest-performing in its immediate vicinity. For instance, Eiland Elementary, just 1.81 miles away in Klein Independent School District (Isd), serves a nearly identical high-poverty population (92%) but achieves dramatically better results, ranking in the 73rd percentile (4 stars). Eiland outperforms Frazier in nearly every subject, most notably in 5th-grade math (69% vs. 43%) and science (31% vs. 18%). This comparison proves that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance and provides a clear, local benchmark for what is possible at Frazier.
