Summary

Glenn York Elementary in Pearland, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 758 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, part of the top-ranked Alvin Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years and ranks in the top 6% of all Texas elementary schools, making it a standout choice for families in the area.

One of Glenn York’s biggest strengths is its exceptional science program. In 5th grade, nearly 73% of students were proficient in science, far outpacing the district average of about 40% and the state average of 30%. This is a 33-point lead over the district and a 43-point lead over the state. Among nearby schools, only Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary came close with 63% proficiency, while others like Pomona Elementary (50%) and Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary (52%) lagged behind. The school also excels in advanced math: 5th graders taking the 6th-grade STAAR test achieved a 95% proficiency rate, compared to the district’s 45% and state’s 38%. This explains why the school’s 5th-grade math scores appear lower—top students are simply taking a higher-level test. Additionally, Glenn York is notably effective at supporting African American students, who rank in the 98th percentile statewide, a rare achievement that highlights the school’s commitment to equity.

While Glenn York’s overall ranking has slightly dipped from its peak (97th percentile in 2020-2021 to 94th-95th percentile recently), it remains a top-tier school. It achieves these results with a lower per-student spending of $9,069 compared to some lower-performing peers like Red Duke Elementary ($10,474) and Ridgemont Elementary ($16,005), showing efficient use of resources. The area around Glenn York is a mix of high and low performers—for example, Silvercrest Elementary in Pearland Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the top 1%, while Almeda Elementary in Houston Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the 31st percentile. Glenn York sits comfortably in the top tier, reflecting a strong community focus on education and effective district leadership.
