Summary

Jessie Lee Pumphrey Elementary in Baytown, TX, serves 749 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, with 64.6% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. This school shows clear pockets of excellence, particularly in early-grade instruction, where 3rd graders consistently outperform the district in both Reading (54.05% proficient vs. 36.55% district) and Math (44.59% vs. 29.71%). However, this advantage tends to fade by 5th grade, and a notable weakness is 5th Grade Science, where only 10.64% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, significantly below the district average of 20.79%.

Pumphrey has made remarkable progress with two key student groups. Its Special Education students jumped from the 31st percentile statewide to the 69th percentile over two years, and English Language Learners improved from the 23rd to the 50th percentile in the same period. This suggests effective, targeted programs are being implemented. The school's overall state ranking sits at the 42nd percentile (2 stars), placing it in the middle of Texas elementary schools, but these subgroup improvements point to a strong foundation for future growth.

Compared to its nearest neighbor, Victoria Walker Elementary (just 1.03 miles away with a similar poverty rate), Pumphrey outperforms in 3rd Grade Math (44.59% vs. 32.32%) but falls behind in 5th Grade Math and Science. Meanwhile, Crockett Elementary, a top-performing nearby school with a higher poverty rate (77.06%), excels across nearly all subjects and grade levels, serving as a model for how Pumphrey can improve its upper-grade and Science instruction. With its strong early-grade foundation and improving support for diverse learners, Pumphrey has a clear path to becoming a consistently high-performing school.
