Summary

Harlem Elementary is a public elementary school in Baytown, Texas, serving 627 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 701 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harlem Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 2,500 and 3,700 over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. Proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and Special Education student subgroups.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,953 to $11,640 over the past three years, Harlem Elementary's academic performance remains below average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to implement evidence-based strategies and interventions. Collaboration with higher-performing schools within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, such as Lamar Elementary or Crockett Elementary, may provide valuable insights to help Harlem Elementary better serve its students.
