Summary

Etoile Academy Charter School-Bissonnet is a small elementary charter school in Houston, TX (zip code 77036) serving 303 students in grades K-7, with over 95% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While the school currently ranks in the 14th percentile statewide—earning a 1-star rating—it stands out for its consistent academic improvement over the past three years, climbing from the 5th to the 9th to the 14th percentile, a trend that is unique among nearby schools like White E Elementary and Valley West Elementary, which show more volatile performance.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its upper-grade math program. In 7th grade, 51.92% of Etoile students are proficient in math, far exceeding the state average of 29.41% and outperforming nearby Step Charter II (45.24%). This is especially notable because the school struggles in early elementary math (3rd grade: 30.77% vs. state 44.33%) but shows steady improvement through middle school—the opposite of the typical trend. Additionally, the school has made remarkable progress with English Language Learners, moving from the 8th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 35th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting recent instructional changes are working well for this group.

However, science remains a critical weakness, with 5th grade proficiency at just 3.13% compared to the state average of 29.57%, far below nearby schools like Boone Elementary and Best Elementary. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.2:1, though this hasn't prevented improvement. Compared to its closest neighbor, Best Elementary (0.24 miles away), Etoile shows a clear upward trajectory while Best has stagnated. The highest-performing nearby school, Harmony School Of Exploration- Houston (70th percentile), outperforms Etoile by 20-30 percentage points in most subjects, providing a benchmark for what's achievable with a similar student population.
