Summary

Southeast Elementary in Houston, TX, is a public charter school in the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district serving 816 students in grades PK through 5, and it stands out as a high-performing option in a high-poverty community where about 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a clear academic standout compared to nearby schools in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd). For example, while Young Elementary and Genoa Elementary rank in the bottom 20% of the state, Southeast Elementary is in the top 35% and climbing. Its students consistently outperform district and state averages on state assessments, especially in reading and math. A key strength is its exceptional performance with Hispanic and low-income students, ranking in the 75th and 79th percentiles respectively. The school also invests more per student—$15,111—than nearby schools, which spend between $10,193 and $13,007. However, it has a larger student-teacher ratio (16.4:1) than its neighbors (average 12.5:1), suggesting spending goes toward specialized programs rather than smaller classes.

One fascinating finding is the school's highly effective bilingual program, with Spanish-language STAAR test scores often doubling or tripling the state average. However, a critical area of concern is the performance of African American students, who ranked in the 1st percentile in 2023-2024, indicating a significant disparity. Additionally, while the school's overall rank is improving, performance for male students and low-income students has slightly declined from previous highs. Despite these challenges, Southeast Elementary is a vital resource in the area, proving that high-poverty schools can achieve strong results with the right model and investment.
