Summary

North Forest Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 646 students in grades PK-4 in Houston, Texas. It is part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc. district, which is ranked 369 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Forest Elementary faces significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly on STAAR tests, where the school's proficiency rates are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 47.95% compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is slightly better, ranking in the middle quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, North Forest Elementary performs worse on STAAR tests than Worsham Elementary and Fall Creek Elementary, which are in the Aldine ISD and Humble ISD districts, respectively. However, North Forest Elementary outperforms the nearby Johnson Elementary and Oleson Elementary, which are also in the Aldine ISD district. This may be due to the higher per-student spending at the Aldine ISD schools compared to North Forest Elementary.
