Condit Elementary

Condit Elementary in Bellaire, TX, is a highly performing public school serving 730 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd). Consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 7% of Texas elementary schools, Condit stands out for its elite academic performance across all core subjects. It forms a "triangle of excellence" with nearby Kolter Elementary and Horn Elementary, all within a mile of each other, creating a remarkable concentration of high achievement in the area.

Condit excels in supporting diverse student groups, with exceptional performance for White students (96th percentile) and Asian students (95th percentile), the latter showing a dramatic improvement from prior years. Most notably, the school ranks in the 91st percentile for Special Education students, a significant leap from just two years ago, indicating a focused and effective intervention program. The school also demonstrates spending efficiency, achieving top-tier results with a per-student budget ($9,509) that is lower than several lower-performing neighbors like Cunningham Elementary ($10,662) and Rodriguez Elementary.

However, Condit has a notable weakness in supporting English Language Learners (ELL), who rank in the 24th percentile statewide—a sharp contrast to the school's overall excellence. This is an area needing urgent improvement. The data also reveals a stark academic divide within a small geographic area: Condit (36% free/reduced lunch) is less than a mile from Cunningham (93%) and Rodriguez (98%), with dramatic performance gaps in subjects like 5th Grade Reading (Condit at 82% proficiency vs. Cunningham at 56% and Rodriguez at 33%). This highlights how school performance correlates with neighborhood socioeconomic factors, even within the same district.
