Summary

Sneed Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 976 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Alief Independent School District (ISD). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, underperforming compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics.

Sneed Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 88-93% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's spending per student is relatively high, likely due to the need for additional support services, its academic performance lags behind nearby schools, including Bush Elementary and Collins Elementary in the Alief ISD, as well as Neff Elementary, Briarmeadow Charter, and Westchase Neighborhood School in the Houston ISD.

The challenges faced by Sneed Elementary are significant, but the stronger performance of nearby schools, even those in the same district, suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and implement effective practices to better support its students. While the high concentration of economically disadvantaged students likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio may also be a factor, and the overall low performance of the Alief ISD district may be a systemic issue impacting the school's ability to improve.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, December 16, 2010

I have 6 children, 4 of them have graduated, and I have two children now attending Sneed Elementary. Frankly, I have been appalled at the attitude of the principal's total lack of nurturing attitude and over-abundance of rules. In any organization, attitudes flow from the top down. There are 34 rules posted on the walls of the school, and I feel like this school is a military academy for toddlers. I witnessed the principal grab a fearful little girl out of the hand of her father on the first day of school, and she even had the gall to tell my son to get a haircut. (His hair is neatly combed and barely touches his collar.) On another occasion another father was having trouble getting his little girl to go to class and the principal again advised him to take her to class regardless, but the father stood his ground and eventually took the girl home.

I've had my children in a lot of schools, and this has got to be the worst. Close Quote
