Summary

Dogan Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 448 students in a high-poverty area of Houston, TX, where over 98% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Dogan has a long history of very low academic performance, consistently ranking in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools. While the school shows a slow upward trend from a low point in 2022-2023, it remains one of the lowest-performing schools in its immediate area. For example, nearby Eliot Elementary (71st percentile) and Pugh Elementary (52nd percentile) achieve significantly better results with a very similar student population, proving that high poverty does not have to mean low performance. Dogan also spends less per student ($9,918) than every nearby school with available data, including Isaacs Elementary ($12,785) and Ross Elementary ($12,440).

Despite these challenges, Dogan has a notable bright spot: its Spanish-language math program. In 2025-2026, 56.25% of 3rd graders taking the STAAR Spanish Math test were proficient—more than double the state average of 27.28%. This success in Spanish math stands out compared to peers and could serve as a model for other subjects. However, the school struggles with inconsistent support for special education students and critically low science scores (11.48% proficiency in 5th grade, less than half the state average). Dogan’s gradual recovery from a 3rd percentile ranking in 2022-2023 to the 15th percentile suggests recent interventions may be starting to take effect, but the school still has significant ground to cover to match the performance of its higher-achieving neighbors.
