Summary

Frost Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 402 students in a high-poverty area, where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 1st percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest rank in eight years. This 25-percentile-point jump over four years is far more dramatic than any nearby peer, and Frost now outperforms the nearby charter school Iltexas Houston Orem Elementary in nearly every grade and subject, a complete reversal from the previous year.

Frost stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. In 2025-2026, its African American students ranked in the 52nd percentile statewide, far exceeding the performance of this group at nearby schools like Mading Elementary, Reynolds Elementary, and Law Elementary. The school also has a strong track record with Special Education students, who ranked in the 83rd percentile in 2023-2024. Additionally, Frost offers a highly effective bilingual program: 3rd graders taking the Spanish Math test scored 70% proficient, compared to just 27.28% statewide, and Spanish Reading scores also exceeded state averages.

While Frost’s overall improvement is impressive, challenges remain. The school’s gains are driven largely by Reading, where 4th-grade scores (55.1%) beat both the district and state averages. However, Math proficiency in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades remains well below those benchmarks, signaling a key area for continued focus. For context, the nearby E A Lawhon Elementary in Pearland Independent School District (Isd) represents a different socioeconomic reality with a 5-star rating and only 60% of students on free lunch, highlighting the significant challenges Frost has overcome to achieve its upward trajectory.
