Summary

Peck Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 288 students in a high-poverty area, where over 97% qualify for free or reduced lunch. After years of struggling academically, the school is showing a promising turnaround, climbing to the 26th percentile in state rankings—its highest in six years. This recent improvement stands out compared to nearby schools like Hartsfield Elementary (1 mile away), which has declined to the 11th percentile, and KIPP Peace Elementary (0.42 miles away), which has dropped to the 3rd percentile. A key advantage is Peck’s very low student-teacher ratio of 10.6:1, much smaller than Brookline Elementary (15.6:1) or Henderson J Elementary (16.4:1), which allows for more individualized instruction.

Peck shows notable strengths in specific areas. Its Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide—far above the school’s overall 26th percentile. The school also excels in Spanish-language math assessments for 3rd graders, with 45.45% proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 42.53% in HISD and just 27.95% statewide. However, challenges remain: 4th-grade reading is a persistent weakness (31.25% proficient in 2025-2026), and 5th-grade science scores are alarmingly low (7.14% proficient in 2024-2025). While Peck’s per-student spending ($12,014) is among the highest in the area—more than Brookline Elementary ($10,403) or Henderson J Elementary ($9,717)—this investment is only now starting to yield results.

Despite its progress, Peck still has a significant gap to close compared to the neighborhood’s highest-performing school, Brookline Elementary, which consistently ranks in the 84th percentile with larger classes and lower spending. The school’s recent upward trend—improving from the 8th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 26th percentile—suggests that new strategies may be taking hold, but the gains are fragile. For parents, Peck offers a small, supportive environment with a focus on bilingual math and a dedicated staff, but it remains a work in progress, especially in reading and science for older students.
