Summary

Berry Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 745 students in a high-poverty area of Houston, TX, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, rising from a 1-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement that now puts it in direct competition with nearby top performer Burbank Elementary.

Berry Elementary stands out for its exceptional support of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 91st percentile for this group in 2025-2026—far outperforming nearby schools like Roosevelt Elementary and Garcia Elementary. The school also excels in math instruction, particularly for students taking the Spanish version of the STAAR test, where 3rd graders scored 68.42% proficient—nearly double the district average and more than double the state average. This math strength is a key differentiator, as many nearby schools like Roderick R Paige Elementary and Coop Elementary struggle significantly in this area.

While Berry shows strong academic growth overall, 5th-grade science scores remain a persistent weakness (20.83% proficient in 2024-2025), though this is a systemic issue shared by nearby schools like Coop (8.82%) and Garcia (2.22%). The school's spending per student ($10,045) is in the middle of the pack compared to peers, yet it achieves better results than schools with higher spending, such as Roderick R Paige Elementary ($10,620 per student but ranking in the 41st percentile). This efficiency, combined with its dramatic improvement trajectory, makes Berry a compelling choice for families in the area.
