Summary

Don Jeter Elementary in Rosharon, TX, is a mid-sized school serving about 800 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Alvin Independent School District (Isd), a highly-rated district where the school itself holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 66th percentile statewide.

One of the most important things to know about Don Jeter is that it serves a community where over 71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, which is a much higher rate than many nearby schools in the same district. For example, Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary and Glenn York Elementary have free/reduced lunch rates around 20%. Despite this challenge, Don Jeter has shown a strong upward trend in performance over the last few years. The school also stands out for its exceptional results with specific groups of students, including African American students who consistently earn a 4-star rating, and English Language Learners, who recently jumped to a 4-star rating as well. Additionally, the school has a highly effective advanced math program, with 6th-grade math scores (taken by advanced 5th graders) far exceeding district and state averages—for instance, 78.4% proficient compared to the district's 44.9% in a recent year.

Geographically, Don Jeter sits in a unique "tale of two districts" area. It outperforms nearby Fort Bend ISD schools like Heritage Rose Elementary and Walter Moses Burton Elementary, which rank in the 13th-36th percentile, but it trails behind Pearland ISD schools like Silvercrest Elementary and Silverlake Elementary, which are among the best in the state (99th-100th percentile). Within its own district, Don Jeter is the lowest-ranked among its nearby peers, as Pomona Elementary and others are 5-star schools. While 5th-grade math and science remain areas for growth, the school's overall trajectory and targeted programs make it a solid choice for families seeking a school that is actively improving and supporting diverse learners.
