Summary

Genoa Elementary is a PK-4 school in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd) serving 535 students in a high-poverty Houston community, where about 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, currently placing in the 16th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This makes it the lowest-performing among its immediate Pasadena ISD peers, significantly trailing nearby schools like Stuchbery Elementary (59th percentile), Burnett Elementary (52nd percentile), and Meador Elementary (40th percentile).

The school's biggest challenge is English reading, where only 26.2% of 3rd graders and 31.0% of 4th graders were proficient in 2025-2026—roughly 20 percentage points below the district average and 22-24 points below the state average. In contrast, nearby Meador Elementary achieved 45.5% and 52.7% proficiency in those same grades. However, Genoa shows a remarkable and consistent strength in Spanish-language math testing, with 61.8% of 3rd graders proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district (45.4%) and state (27.9%) averages. This "Spanish advantage" has held for three consecutive years, suggesting the bilingual program effectively teaches math concepts even as English reading remains a critical weakness.

Performance varies dramatically by subject and student group. In 2025-2026, 4th grade math proficiency (43.7%) was nearly 13 points higher than 4th grade reading (31.0%), a much wider gap than at comparable schools. The school has shown improvement in serving Special Education students (51st percentile in 2023-2024) and English Language Learners (37th percentile in 2024-2025), but performance for African American students has collapsed to the 0th percentile. Genoa's per-student spending ($11,913) and favorable student-teacher ratio (12.1) suggest resources alone aren't the issue, pointing instead to challenges in instructional strategy or curriculum implementation that need targeted attention.
