Summary

Gleason Elementary is a mid-to-high performing public school in Houston, TX, serving 940 students in grades PK-5 within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd).

Gleason stands out as a strong academic choice in its area, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it well above many nearby schools, such as Bang Elementary (56th percentile) and Francone Elementary (20th-50th percentile). The school’s most impressive strength is in 5th-grade math, where 63% of students were proficient—significantly higher than the district average of 50% and far above every neighboring school, which all scored below the district average. This consistent excellence suggests a particularly effective math program at that grade level. Additionally, Gleason serves a student population with a lower rate of economic disadvantage (64%) compared to nearby schools like Danish Elementary and Hairgrove Elementary, which have rates between 80% and 89%.

While Gleason excels in many areas, there are notable nuances for parents to consider. The school has shown a dramatic shift in performance by gender, with male students now outperforming female students significantly. It also has a mixed record for supporting disadvantaged students, performing exceptionally well for "At Risk" students but more moderately for those facing economic hardship. A key area for improvement is support for Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in only the 31st percentile statewide. For families considering alternatives, the nearby Harmony School Of Excellence-Houston (71st percentile) offers stronger results in 3rd-grade reading and advanced coursework, though Gleason outperforms it in 5th-grade math.
