Summary

Mitchell Elementary is a public elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 565 students. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mitchell Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 2,724 out of 4,651 schools in 2024-2025 to 4,073 out of 4,320 schools in 2014-2015. The school has received a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. Student performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in science. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 95.56% to 99.12%, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance.

For example, in 2024-2025, Laura Welch Bush Elementary in the Pearland ISD had 75.68% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 46.94% at Mitchell Elementary. The free and reduced-price lunch rates at these nearby schools are also lower, indicating a more socioeconomically diverse student population.
