Summary

Elrod Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 733 students. It is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elrod Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 2-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 4-star rating in 2024-2025. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the HISD and Texas state averages in several STAAR assessments, including Reading, Mathematics, and Science. Elrod Elementary also outperformed HISD and Texas in several STAAR Spanish assessments, particularly in Reading and Mathematics for 5th grade. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.5 to 17.4 students per teacher in recent years, and its per-student spending has increased from $8,506 in 2018-2019 to $10,129 in 2020-2021.

When compared to nearby schools within the HISD district, Parker Elementary and Herod Elementary, which are also magnet schools, show strong academic performance and are ranked higher statewide. However, Elrod Elementary maintains a competitive edge in several subject areas and serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's diverse student population, with significant representation of African American and Hispanic students, is a unique characteristic compared to the nearby schools.
