Summary

Reed Academy is an elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 664 students in grades 1-5. It is a public magnet school that is part of the Aldine Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 740 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Reed Academy's overall student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the Aldine ISD and Texas state averages, the school shows some notable strengths. It has a higher per-student spending level ($10,462 in 2020-2021) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students with special needs is relatively stronger than the district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges in improving overall academic achievement, despite these resources.

Interestingly, North Central Elementary, a public charter school located near Reed Academy, outperforms the school and the Aldine ISD on most academic measures, despite serving a similarly high-poverty student population. Meanwhile, the nearby Eckert Elementary, Worsham Elementary, and Oleson Elementary schools in the Aldine ISD generally perform at a similar or slightly higher level than Reed Academy on STAAR tests.
