Summary

Reynolds Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd), serving 301 students in the 77051 zip code, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Reynolds has historically been one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, but recent data shows a dramatic turnaround. After ranking in the bottom 3rd percentile for five consecutive years, the school jumped to the 20th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in over a decade. This improvement is not seen in nearby peers like Law Elementary and Bastian Elementary, which have remained stagnant. A key bright spot is 4th-grade Reading, where Reynolds' proficiency rate (55.81%) actually exceeded both the district (52.83%) and state (53.04%) averages in 2025-2026. However, the school's success is uneven: 3rd-grade Math proficiency sits at just 11.36%, compared to 44.33% statewide, and 5th-grade Science scores have been critically low, with 0% proficient in 2024-2025.

Reynolds spends more per student ($11,769) than nearby schools like Law ($9,417) and Bastian ($10,179), and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.6:1. Despite these resources, the school still lags behind KIPP Zenith Academy, a charter school serving a similarly high-need population just over a mile away, which outperforms Reynolds in nearly every subject. For context, Harmony School Of Fine Arts And Technology-Houston, a charter school 2.5 miles away, is the highest-performing school in the area (49th percentile), though it serves a less economically disadvantaged population. Reynolds' recent improvement is real but fragile, and the school's ability to sustain this upward trend will depend on addressing its uneven performance across grades and subjects.
