Summary

Hill Elementary is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving 446 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 740 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hill Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on STAAR tests significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 51.32% at Hill Elementary, compared to 46.3% for the Aldine ISD and 57.83% for the state of Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Additionally, Hill Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 91.93% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Comparing Hill Elementary to nearby schools, both within and outside the Aldine ISD, highlights the potential for improvement. The nearby Goodman Elementary and Harris Elementary also perform below the state average on STAAR tests, but they generally outperform Hill Elementary. However, Nitsch Elementary, located just outside the Aldine ISD in the Klein Independent School District, consistently ranks in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools and outperforms both Hill Elementary and the Aldine ISD on STAAR tests.
