Honor Elementary

Honor Elementary in Converse, TX, is a PK-5 school in the East Central Independent School District (Isd) serving 806 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 and a predominantly low-income population where nearly 64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school currently ranks in the 6th percentile statewide, placing it in the lowest tier of Texas elementary schools and making it the most challenged school in its immediate geographic cluster, with a 0-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

The most critical area of concern is mathematics, particularly in 3rd grade, where only 12.71% of students were proficient—roughly one-third of the district average and one-quarter of the state average. This math deficiency is systemic across all tested grades, with scores significantly lower than every nearby school, including Spring Meadows Elementary (45.56% in 3rd grade math) and James L Masters (28.07%). Science performance is also a critical gap, with 5th grade science scores at just 6.84%, the lowest in the comparison group and less than half the district average. Even within the same district, Tradition Elementary outperforms Honor in nearly every metric, including math scores that are roughly 2.5 times higher in 3rd grade.

Despite these challenges, there is a relative bright spot: the school serves its Multi-racial students better than any other subgroup, ranking in the 24th percentile—significantly higher than the school's overall rank. However, the school's performance for low socio-economic status students is in the 4th percentile, the lowest-performing subgroup, and the school is on a downward trajectory in key areas, with 3rd grade math declining further from the previous year. For parents considering this school, it's important to note that the challenges appear school-specific rather than district-wide, and the school is struggling to provide equitable outcomes for its most vulnerable students compared to nearby schools with similar poverty levels.
