Summary

Collins Elementary is an elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 809 students. The school is part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 743 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collins Elementary has consistently ranked 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 students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Collins Elementary was 32.14%, 41.86%, and 44.44%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian and Hispanic student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups.

While Collins Elementary's overall performance is low, the school's rankings for African American and Special Education student subgroups are relatively higher, with rankings in the middle or upper-middle range of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that the school may be providing more targeted support and resources for these specific student populations. However, despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Collins Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state and district averages, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school.
