Summary

Holmquist Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 764 students in grades K-4 and part of the Alief Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently low rankings and proficiency rates below district and state averages, particularly in reading and math.

Holmquist's performance is especially weak in the "Gifted and Talented" and "White Students" subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for Asian students and English Language Learners is relatively stronger. Compared to nearby schools in the Alief ISD district, Holmquist generally underperforms, with schools like Mahanay Elementary, Hearne Elementary, and Petrosky Elementary achieving higher rankings and better academic outcomes.

To address these challenges, Holmquist Elementary and the Alief ISD should consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs, analyzing resource allocation, and exploring best practices from higher-performing schools in the district or region. By addressing these areas, the school can work towards improving its academic performance and providing a high-quality education for all its students.

Communication between staff and the parents is absolutly ridiculous. I can never just speak to someone right away and they take forever to return messages. Close Quote
