Summary

KIPP Peace Elementary is a public charter school in Houston, TX (77021) serving 525 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade, where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating extremely high economic need. The school is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools district, which ranks in the 38th percentile statewide.

KIPP Peace Elementary has faced persistent academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year, with no ranking above the 14th percentile in the last five years. Its performance is notably lower than nearby schools serving similar demographics, such as Thompson Elementary (74th percentile), Henderson J Elementary (82nd percentile), and Brookline Elementary (84th percentile). Mathematics proficiency is critically low, with only 19.28% of 3rd graders and 23.68% of 4th graders meeting standards in 2025-2026, compared to 51.61% and 70.45% at Thompson Elementary. The school also ranks in the 1st percentile for serving male students and special education students, suggesting systemic instructional issues.

Resource allocation may be a contributing factor. KIPP Peace has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (21.8:1) than all nearby schools, including Peck Elementary (10.6:1) and The Lawson Academy (19.3:1). Per-student spending is also lower at $9,320 (2020-2021), compared to $12,014 at Peck Elementary and $11,839 at Foster Elementary. However, there is a glimmer of hope: in the 2020-2021 school year, the school ranked in the 28th percentile, and its "At Risk" subgroup ranked in the 58th percentile, indicating past capacity for better performance. This suggests that with targeted changes in curriculum, instruction, and resource allocation, improvement is possible.
