Summary:
Bloom Academy Charter School is a single elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving grades Kindergarten through 5th grade with 302 students, operating as its own charter district.
Bloom Academy Charter School is a school facing significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 2nd percentile of all Texas schools for the past three years. While the school spends a relatively high $14,801 per student, its academic outcomes are among the lowest in the state. For the 2025-2026 school year, only 27.48% of students were proficient in Reading and just 17.93% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of roughly 54% and 47%, respectively. The most critical areas are in STEM subjects, with 0% of 4th graders proficient in Math and only 2.94% of 5th graders proficient in Science in the 2024-2025 school year. The school serves a high-poverty population, with nearly 80% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and has a student-teacher ratio of 21.3 to 1.
There is a very small sign of improvement, as the school's ranking moved from the 0th to the 2nd percentile, and some grade-level scores have ticked up slightly year-over-year (e.g., 3rd Grade Reading improved from 22.03% to 29.03%). However, these gains are marginal and the school remains in a deep academic hole. The stark disconnect between above-average spending and bottom-tier results suggests that the school's current instructional strategies and resource allocation are not effectively meeting student needs. For parents, this data indicates that Bloom Academy Charter School requires urgent and comprehensive intervention, particularly in mathematics and science, to provide a foundational education for its students.
