Summary

Services-Ninos Charter Elementary is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas that serves grades PK-5 with 526 students enrolled. The school is part of the Services-Ninos Charter School District, which is ranked 540 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Services-Ninos Charter Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 56.76% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading compared to 52.02% statewide. The school also struggles with its Spanish-language assessments, with proficiency rates often below 40%. Additionally, the school has lower rankings for its female, male, Hispanic, and English Learner student subgroups compared to the state. However, it performs better for its "At Risk" student population, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools in this category.

The school's extremely high free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 93-99% over the past few years, indicate a high-poverty student population. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Cunningham Elementary, Benavidez Elementary, and Pilgrim Academy, Services-Ninos Charter Elementary generally performs worse on test scores and other metrics. The only exception is its "At Risk" student population, which outperforms nearby schools. This suggests the school may be more effective at supporting its highest-need students, but overall, it faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes.
