Summary

Armand Bayou Elementary is a PK-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 518 students within the highly-rated Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd), where about 45% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Armand Bayou has shown a notable pattern of performance volatility in recent years. After historically earning 4-star ratings, the school dropped to a 2-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year before rebounding to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026. This recovery was driven by significant improvements in Reading and Math across all grade levels—for example, 4th Grade Math proficiency jumped from 44.05% to 62.5%. However, a persistent weakness remains in 5th Grade Science, where only 13.51% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, less than half the district average and the lowest rate among nearby Clear Creek ISD elementary schools. This is a multi-year issue, with scores consistently below state and district averages. Interestingly, the school has been exceptionally effective with its English Language Learner students, who have consistently ranked in the 72nd-73rd percentile statewide over the last three years.

When comparing Armand Bayou to nearby schools, the differences are striking. It is less than a mile from Brookwood Elementary, a 5-star school that is among the top 5% in the state, despite both schools having similar free/reduced lunch rates (45.37% vs. 40.66%). Armand Bayou’s per-student spending ($10,607) is higher than Brookwood’s ($9,117), suggesting that challenges are not solely due to funding but may relate to resource allocation or instructional factors. The school’s dramatic rebound from a 2-star to a 4-star rating indicates that targeted interventions can be effective, but the inconsistent performance pattern and persistent science gap are important factors for parents to consider.
