Summary

North Shore Elementary in Houston, TX, is a large PK-5 school in the Galena Park Independent School District (Isd) serving 965 students, and it has earned a strong reputation for academic growth and efficiency, particularly in supporting students from diverse backgrounds.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with English Language Learners (ELL) and students from low-income families, ranking in the 98th and 91st percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively—a feat not matched by nearby schools like Dr Shirley J Williamson Elementary or Cimarron Elementary. North Shore also excels in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th graders consistently outperforming both district and state averages. For example, 4th graders achieved 63.51% proficiency in math, compared to 49.28% statewide. This success is even more impressive given that the school spends less per student ($11,004) than other Galena Park ISD schools like Green Valley Elementary ($13,670), yet it achieves the highest overall ranking in the district, including a 4-star rating and a 74th percentile statewide rank.

While North Shore shines in reading and math, it has room for growth in science, where only 30.95% of 5th graders were proficient in 2024-2025, slightly below the state average. Additionally, there is a notable gap between students taking English versus Spanish STAAR exams, with Spanish-language scores lagging significantly, suggesting a need for targeted support. On a positive note, the school has shown a remarkable turnaround for special education students, jumping from the 42nd to the 81st percentile in just a few years. Overall, North Shore Elementary is a high-performing, efficient school that effectively supports its most vulnerable students, making it a standout choice in the area.
