Summary

Services-Ninos Charter Elementary in Houston, TX, serves 512 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Services-Ninos Charter School district, which has a 1-star rating. The school is located in a highly disadvantaged area, with 95.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its academic performance has declined significantly, ranking in the 21st percentile statewide (1-star) for the 2025-2026 school year, down from a 57th percentile (3-star) peak in 2018-2019.

A notable strength is the school's bilingual program, particularly in Spanish-tested Mathematics, where 4th graders scored 55.17% proficient in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average of 29.41%. However, this is a double-edged sword, as Spanish-tested Reading scores are a major concern, with 0% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025. The school also faces a severe "5th grade wall," with only 27.4% of 5th graders proficient in Reading and 19.44% in Math in 2025-2026, representing a catastrophic collapse from prior years. This contrasts sharply with its sister campus, Services-Ninos Charter Elementary II, which excels in 5th grade Reading with 65% proficiency, suggesting the main campus's challenges may be tied to specific instructional practices or leadership.

Compared to nearby schools, Services-Ninos struggles against Amigos Por Vida-Friends For Life Charter School, a high-performing peer serving a nearly identical demographic (97.5% free/reduced lunch) that ranks in the 61st percentile. The school also spends less per student ($9,123) than nearby Cunningham Elementary ($10,662) and Etoile Academy Charter School ($12,700), which may limit resources for intervention programs. The proximity to high-performing Condit Elementary (93rd percentile) highlights extreme economic segregation in the area, underscoring that poverty concentration is a key factor in academic outcomes.
