Summary

Henderson N Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 211 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state.

Henderson N Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. The school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.31% to 99.56%, and its student proficiency rates on the STAAR exams are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 41.18% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 48.18% for the district and 52.02% for the state.

When comparing Henderson N Elementary to other nearby schools in the Houston Independent School District, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance.

Additionally, Henderson N Elementary has seen a decline in enrollment, from 211 in 2023-2024 to 229 in 2022-2023, while the nearby schools generally maintain stable or growing enrollment, which could be a sign of families choosing to send their children to other schools in the area.
