Frostwood Elementary

Frostwood Elementary is a high-performing K-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 838 students within the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd) and consistently ranking in the top 3% of all Texas elementary schools for nearly a decade.

Frostwood is an elite school, but it operates in a neighborhood with several other top-tier options. While it earns a 5-star rating and ranks 61st out of over 4,600 schools statewide, it is slightly outperformed by two nearby peers: Wilchester Elementary (ranked 22nd) and Memorial Drive Elementary (ranked 17th). Frostwood’s standout strength is mathematics, particularly in 5th grade, where 93.75% of students were proficient in 2025-2026. Even more impressive, the school has achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in 6th-grade math for four consecutive years, showing students are exceptionally prepared for advanced concepts. However, there is a notable dip in 4th-grade reading proficiency (81.94%), which is lower than at Wilchester (87.67%), Rummel Creek Elementary (90.76%), and Memorial Drive (94.12%).

Frostwood also excels at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 99th percentile statewide—a metric where it outperforms even its higher-ranked neighbors. A key area to watch is the school’s Gifted and Talented program, which saw a dramatic one-year performance drop from the 97th to the 75th percentile, possibly due to a curriculum or identification change. Science scores, while strong, are the lowest core subject and present an opportunity for growth compared to Wilchester and Memorial Drive. Overall, Frostwood provides an excellent education with a strong math foundation, though parents may want to investigate the reading and gifted program trends.
