Summary

Law Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 519 students in grades PK-5. It 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.

Despite being in operation for over a decade, Law Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating. The school significantly underperforms compared to the Houston ISD and Texas state averages on the STAAR assessments, with only 19.61% of 3rd graders proficient in reading in 2024-2025, compared to 48.18% for Houston ISD and 52.02% for Texas. Law Elementary also has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 97.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than nearby schools in the district.

Interestingly, the nearby Young Elementary, Bastian Elementary, and Frost Elementary generally outperform Law Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the differences in performance. Law Elementary also spends around $9,400 per student, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Houston ISD, which spend between $10,100 and $12,300 per student.
