Summary

De Chaumes Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 680 students in a high-poverty area of Houston, TX, where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Once a top-tier school ranking in the 88th percentile statewide in 2015-2016, De Chaumes has experienced a significant decline over the past decade, now settling at the 51st percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it in the middle of the pack among nearby schools, outperforming struggling neighbors like Northline Elementary (13th percentile) but lagging behind consistent high-performers like Burbank Elementary (75th percentile), showing that neighborhood context alone doesn't determine success.

De Chaumes shows a clear academic split: it excels in reading, with 5th-grade Reading proficiency at 68%—well above the district (58.09%) and state (58.47%)—but struggles in math, where 5th-grade Math proficiency is just 39.22%, below district and state averages. This pattern of strong reading and weak math is consistent across all grades. The school also demonstrates a notable strength in its Spanish-language STAAR testing, with 3rd-grade Reading scores outperforming district and state averages, suggesting an effective bilingual program. However, a major red flag is the school's performance with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 29th percentile (1 star), indicating that while the school supports economically disadvantaged students well, it may not provide enough enrichment for its highest achievers.

Despite the overall decline, De Chaumes shows exceptional ability to serve its most economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 72nd percentile (4 stars) for this subgroup. This is a key strength, as many high-poverty schools struggle to achieve this. A systemic weakness across the area is science instruction, with De Chaumes' 5th-grade Science proficiency at just 9.47% in 2024-2025, mirroring low scores at nearby schools like Moreno Elementary (21.78%) and Durkee Elementary (20%). This suggests a broader challenge in the North Houston corridor, likely due to a focus on foundational reading and math skills in high-poverty contexts.
