Summary

Mading Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 338 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mading Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school significantly underperforms the HISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in science, where only 7.14% of 5th graders were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 24.95% for HISD and 29.57% for Texas. Mading also struggles with English Language Learners, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for this student group.

While Mading Elementary spends more per student than the HISD and Texas state averages, it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio. Nearby schools, such as Kelso Elementary, Seguin Elementary, and Bastian Elementary, generally outperform Mading on academic measures, despite also serving high-poverty student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just resources, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and family engagement, may be contributing to Mading's struggles.
