Summary

Eliot Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Houston, TX, serving 464 students within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and it has become a standout success story in a neighborhood where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Eliot Elementary has achieved remarkable academic growth, climbing from the 29th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. This makes it a clear outlier compared to nearby schools. For example, Scroggins Elementary (0.47 miles away) ranks in the 35th percentile, and Atherton Elementary (0.95 miles away) is in the 10th percentile. The school’s most impressive achievement is its performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who rank in the 90th percentile statewide—meaning Eliot is doing a better job educating these students than 90% of all Texas schools. Math scores are particularly strong, with 83.33% of 4th graders proficient in math in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 45.85%. English Language Learners also perform well, consistently ranking in the 71st-73rd percentile.

While Eliot excels overall, there are areas for growth. Fifth-grade science scores are a persistent weakness, with only 11.54% of students proficient in 2024-2025, below the state average of 29.57%. Additionally, the Gifted and Talented program has seen a decline, dropping from the 71st percentile in 2021-2022 to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026. Despite these challenges, Eliot’s dramatic improvement over five years—a 42-percentile-point gain—highlights effective leadership and targeted interventions that make it a model for equity and academic success in the Houston area.
