Summary

Donna Lewis Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Houston, TX, serving 689 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is a remarkable turnaround story, climbing from the 13th percentile in state rankings in 2019 to the 53rd percentile in 2026—a 40-percentile-point gain that sets it apart from nearby peers like Clark Elementary, Deloras E Thompson Elementary, Joan Link Elementary, and Heritage Elementary, all of which remain in the bottom 20th percentile.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional mathematics program. In 4th grade math, 66% of students were proficient—nearly double the district average of 42.28% and far above the state average. This math success extends to English Language Learners, with 83.33% of 5th graders taking the Spanish-language math test scoring proficient, compared to just 19.06% statewide. Donna Lewis also excels in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide in 2026. Even when compared to schools in the higher-performing Klein Independent School District (Isd), such as Greenwood Forest Elementary and Kaiser Elementary, Donna Lewis holds its own in math, outperforming Greenwood Forest in 5th grade math (52.17% vs. 55.06%) and coming close to Kaiser (64.86%).

However, the school has areas for growth. Science scores are a weakness, with only 17.24% of 5th graders proficient in 2025, well below the state average of 29.57%. Additionally, the school’s Gifted and Talented program has ranked in the bottom 30th percentile for three consecutive years, suggesting it may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving students. Overall, Donna Lewis is a school on the rise, with a world-class math program that is transforming outcomes for its students, though it still has work to do in reading, science, and advanced academics.
