Public Grades 1-5
Summary

Sammons Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (76.1%) compared to the state average, and lower percentages of White (3.02%) and Asian (3.57%) students. Academically, the school outperformed the Aldine ISD and state averages in several STAAR test subjects, but its performance is still below the state averages in most areas. The school performs relatively better for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student populations, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups, but struggles more with its African American, Gifted and Talented, and At-Risk students, ranking in the bottom 50%. With over 90% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Sammons Elementary faces challenges associated with high poverty levels.

Despite these challenges, Sammons Elementary has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to the bottom 40% in 2023-2024. Compared to other Aldine ISD elementary schools in the vicinity, Sammons generally performs better than Stehlik Elementary and Spence Elementary, but lags behind schools like Hill Elementary and Carmichael Elementary. Addressing the needs of its specific student subgroups and the challenges associated with high poverty levels could be key focus areas for Sammons Elementary to continue improving its academic outcomes.
