Summary

Bunker Hill Elementary in Houston, TX, is a high-performing school in the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd), serving 766 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a relatively affluent community where only about 13% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Bunker Hill consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in Texas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its STAAR test scores are 20-40 percentage points higher than the district average and 25-35 points higher than the state average across all subjects and grades. A standout feature is its advanced math program: Bunker Hill has achieved a perfect 100% proficiency on the 6th Grade Mathematics STAAR exam for four consecutive years (2022-2026), a remarkable feat compared to the district's 50-54% and state's 37-38% averages. While Bunker Hill is a top-tier school, it is outperformed by nearby Memorial Drive Elementary (ranked #17 in the state) and Frostwood Elementary (ranked #61), and is comparable to Rummel Creek Elementary (ranked #54). However, its performance is dramatically higher than other nearby schools like Shadow Oaks Elementary (ranked #2,598) and Woodview Elementary (ranked #3,732), creating a stark contrast within the district.

Bunker Hill is also a model of efficiency, achieving exceptional results with lower per-pupil spending ($9,202) compared to its elite peers and even significantly less than lower-performing schools in the area. The school shows strong support for Special Education students (96th percentile) and African American students (94th percentile), though there has been a recent decline in performance for Asian students and low socio-economic status students that warrants attention. Science remains a relative weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency at 53.97% in 2024-2025, well above state averages but lower than the school's own stellar reading and math scores.

Monday, January 30, 2012

I am so pleased with BHE. The teachers truly love what they do and are so happy to be working at this school. The parent involvement is wonderful. The PTA makes sure that the teachers and students have everything they need.

I have one child that is in 1st grade. My second will be here in a couple years. I am very involved and so glad that we landed at BHE. Close Quote
