Summary

Eckert Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 497 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 740 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Eckert Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the Aldine ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.31% of 3rd graders at Eckert Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 35.99% for Aldine ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.15% to 98.48% over the past 3 years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Hinojosa Ec/Pk/K, Reed Academy, and Calvert Elementary schools within the Aldine ISD generally perform better academically than Eckert Elementary, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger rankings. However, these nearby schools also have high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, similar to Eckert Elementary. The only school that stands out as a higher-performing outlier is North Central Elementary, a public charter school in the nearby Yes Prep Public Schools district, which outperforms Eckert Elementary and the Aldine ISD on STAAR tests while still serving a high-poverty student population.
