Summary

Gregg Elementary in Houston, TX, is a PK-5 campus in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 289 students in a high-poverty area, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has undergone a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 24th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 68th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for the second year in a row. The most dramatic shift happened between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, suggesting systemic changes rather than a one-year fluke, and the improvement has been sustained and accelerated since then.

Gregg's 5th graders are outperforming their peers across the district and state by wide margins, a feat not seen at nearby schools like Lewis Elementary or Mading Elementary, which have seen their rankings decline. In 2025-2026, Gregg's 5th graders achieved a 76.47% proficiency rate in math and a 71.88% proficiency rate in reading, both the highest among all nearby schools and well above district and state averages. The school is also exceptionally effective with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2025-2026, a massive jump from the 29th percentile just three years prior. Additionally, Gregg's bilingual program shines, with 4th graders scoring 58.33% proficient on the STAAR Spanish Reading test in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district and state averages and the highest among nearby schools.

Despite these strengths, science remains a critical weakness, with only 22.58% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, below district and state averages. The school benefits from a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3:1, lower than Cornelius Elementary (17.7:1) and Seguin Elementary (14.6:1), which likely supports individualized attention. Gregg's support for special education students was exceptional, ranking in the 95th percentile in 2023-2024, though it dropped to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026, a volatility that warrants monitoring. Overall, Gregg's story is one of a school that has fundamentally changed its trajectory, with a strong 5th-grade cohort and effective strategies for its core student demographic.
