Summary

Horizon Montessori Pearland - Stem Academy is a small public charter school in Pearland, TX, serving 216 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade, offering a unique PK-8 continuity that most nearby elementary schools, like E A Lawhon Elementary and Magnolia Elementary, do not provide. The school has shown a remarkable recovery in recent years, climbing from the 22nd percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 73rd percentile in 2023-2024, before settling at the 61st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This upward trajectory suggests significant improvements were made around 2022-2023 that have had a lasting impact, making it a school on the rise.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance in upper elementary and middle school reading. In the most recent testing year, 6th-grade reading proficiency reached 80%, dramatically higher than the district average of 56.34% and the state average of 53.52%. This "middle school bump" in reading suggests the STEM or Montessori curriculum may be particularly effective at engaging students as they enter higher grades. Additionally, the school has shown strong results for special education students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 81st and 79th percentiles statewide for these subgroups in 2023-2024. However, math scores are volatile across grade levels—for example, 7th-grade math reached 75% proficiency in 2024-2025, while 5th-grade math was only 18.18%—which contrasts with the more stable, high math scores at nearby top performers like Shadycrest Elementary (94th percentile) and Magnolia Elementary (92nd percentile).

While the school excels in reading and serves its student subgroups well, science and social studies scores remain areas for growth. For instance, 5th-grade science proficiency was only 18.18% in 2024-2025, and 8th-grade social studies was 13.33% in 2023-2024, suggesting the STEM focus may not fully align with state STAAR assessments in these subjects. Horizon Montessori operates under the Horizon Montessori Public Schools district, which holds a 3-star rating, and is surrounded by high-performing schools in the Pearland Independent School District (Isd), a 5-star district. For families, the school's value proposition lies in its PK-8 continuity, strong middle school reading program, and effective support for diverse learners, rather than competing head-to-head on early elementary test scores.
