Summary

Barrick Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 433 students in a high-poverty area, where over 99% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically struggled, with its overall state ranking dropping to the 25th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, making it the lowest-ranked school in its immediate HISD cluster. This is a significant concern for parents, especially when compared to nearby Lyons Elementary, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but achieves dramatically better results, ranking in the 57th percentile (3 stars) and outperforming Barrick in every English-language STAAR subject.

The most urgent area for concern is the Special Education program, which is failing students at an alarming rate—performing in the 3rd percentile statewide and earning 0 stars. This represents a systemic failure that parents of children with special needs should investigate closely. On a more positive note, Barrick shows a surprising strength in 5th-grade Science, where 38% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, outperforming both the district (24.95%) and state (29.57%). Additionally, the school's Spanish-language program appears to be a relative strength, with Spanish-proficient students sometimes outperforming state averages in subjects like math and science, suggesting the bilingual/ESL program may be more effective than the general education track.

Performance varies significantly by grade level and year, indicating a lack of stable, school-wide instructional strategies. For example, 4th-grade math was a bright spot at 50% proficient in 2024-2025, while 3rd-grade reading was a dismal 23.91%. Notably, per-student spending at Barrick ($10,533) is in line with its HISD peers, meaning the school's struggles are not due to a lack of funding but rather how resources are allocated. Parents considering Barrick should weigh its isolated strengths in Science and bilingual education against its critically low overall performance, especially for special education students, and may want to explore nearby options like Coop Elementary or Durkee Elementary for comparison.
