Summary

Horne Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 926 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 321 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horne Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the CFISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in 5th grade STAAR Reading (44.12%), Mathematics (29.93%), and Science (23.36%) are significantly lower than the CFISD (63.14%, 51.54%, and 42.21%) and Texas state (57.83%, 46.24%, and 29.57%) averages. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of several student subgroups, with rankings in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for Asian, African American, and White students. However, Horne Elementary performs relatively better in supporting its special education and at-risk student populations, ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools in these categories.

The nearby Harmony School Of Achievement - Houston, a public charter school, significantly outperforms Horne Elementary in academic assessments, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher across various subjects and grade levels. This highlights the potential for alternative educational models to achieve better outcomes for students. Additionally, Horne Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.37% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the CFISD average of 69.7%. Despite this higher spending, Horne Elementary's academic performance remains a concern, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, long-term approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.
