Summary:
There is one school, Up Excellence Academy, in the Up Excellence Academy district, a very small elementary school in Houston, TX serving grades PK through 5 with only 36 students and a high rate of economic disadvantage.
Up Excellence Academy is severely underperforming compared to the rest of Texas, ranking in the 1st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. The school's academic results are critically low, with 0% of 5th graders proficient in Math and 0% of 5th graders proficient in Science in recent years. While the school boasts a very favorable 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio, which typically allows for more individualized attention, this resource has not translated into academic success. The school's small size means that the performance of just one or two students can cause large swings in proficiency percentages from year to year, making it difficult to identify clear trends.
Despite the overall struggles, there is a slight bright spot: 6th-grade Math proficiency reached 22.22% in 2025-2026, the highest Math score in the data set and the only grade where Math performance is close to Reading performance. However, the school still trails the state average in every subject and grade level by significant margins, with gaps as large as 47 percentage points in 5th-grade Math. The data paints a clear picture of a school in urgent need of intervention, where the high poverty rate among students presents profound challenges that the current instructional model is not overcoming.
