Summary

Frost Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 469 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frost Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 3,423 and 4,652 out of around 4,600 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. Frost Elementary's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and years. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.84% of 3rd graders, 32.2% of 4th graders, and 52.63% of 5th graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.18%, 52.21%, and 57.55% for the district, and 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83% for the state.

The school's performance is particularly weak in STAAR Math and Science, with proficiency rates often less than half the district and state averages. Frost Elementary also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with the school's rankings for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. In contrast, the nearby Pearland Independent School District school, E.A. Lawhon Elementary, performs significantly better, with proficiency rates well above the state average.
