Summary

Windsong Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in Friendswood Independent School District (Isd), serving 607 students in a community where the school has historically ranked among the top 5% of Texas elementary schools, though recent data shows a performance dip.

Windsong has a strong track record of academic excellence, consistently earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 100 schools in Texas four times in the last decade. Its student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 allows for more individualized attention. However, recent test scores show a notable decline, particularly in 5th-grade science, which dropped from 70% proficient in 2022-2023 to just 23% in 2024-2025—below the state average and less than half the rate at nearby C W Cline Elementary (57%) and Zue S Bales Intermediate (51%). This "science slump" is the biggest factor in the school's slip from a top-100 ranking to its current 91st percentile. Additionally, while Windsong has historically excelled at supporting English Language Learners (ranking in the 99th percentile), performance for other subgroups like Low Socio-Economic Status students has been volatile, dropping from the 97th to the 56th percentile in just two years.

Despite these recent challenges, Windsong remains a school with a strong foundation and proven capacity for elite performance. Its 2022-2023 data shows it can achieve exceptional results across all student groups. The key takeaway for parents is that Windsong is a historically excellent school currently navigating a performance dip, particularly in 5th-grade science and for some student subgroups. The school has the resources and track record to address these issues, making it a school worth watching closely as it works to regain its top-tier status within the district.
