Summary:
Reed Academy is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 677 students. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 847 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population at Reed Academy is predominantly Hispanic (85.38%), with smaller percentages of African American (10.34%), White (2.95%), and other racial/ethnic groups.
Reed Academy's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 35% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 50% statewide and 31% in the Aldine ISD. However, the school's African American students outperform their peers in the district and state, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in both Reading and Math. Reed Academy also spends significantly more per student ($10,462 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to students.
While Reed Academy's overall performance is low, the school's declining performance over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 4,368 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 3,929 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023, is concerning. The nearby schools in the Aldine ISD, such as Eckert Elementary and Raymond Elementary, also struggle academically, with similarly low test scores and statewide rankings. However, some schools, like Worsham Elementary and Odom Elementary, perform better, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Reed Academy to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the district.
