Summary

Roberts Elementary in Houston, TX, is a high-performing PK-5 school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) with 721 students, consistently ranking in the top 2% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2015-2016. This school stands out as a true "math powerhouse," with 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency rates (93.33% and 94%) that are the highest among nearby schools, even surpassing the top-ranked West University Elementary in those specific grades. While the area boasts several excellent schools like River Oaks Elementary and Twain Elementary, Roberts' elite state ranking of 39th out of 4,627 schools (99th percentile) places it in a very small, elite group, significantly outperforming others like Kolter Elementary and Poe Elementary.

One of the most impressive findings is Roberts' exceptional effectiveness with its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 30th out of 4,520 schools statewide for this subgroup (99th percentile). This is a stark contrast to nearby schools with similar demographics, suggesting highly effective support systems and instructional strategies for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, Roberts is a top-tier school for both its Hispanic and White student populations, ranking in the 100th percentile for each group, which indicates an inclusive, high-quality learning environment that benefits all students equally. However, the school's performance with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students is surprisingly average (80th percentile), possibly because its strong general education program elevates all students, making it harder for the GT program to show a distinct advantage.

Roberts' decade-long consistency in the 96th percentile or higher reflects strong leadership, a stable teaching staff, and a supportive school culture, making it a reliably excellent choice for families. While its science scores (73.68%) are nearly 2.5 times the state average, they are the lowest of its core subjects and trail behind West University Elementary (87.37%) and Kolter Elementary (75.44%), suggesting an area for targeted improvement. The contrast with Longfellow Elementary, just 2.09 miles away, highlights the impact of socioeconomic factors on school performance, but Roberts' top-1% ranking for its own low-SES students shows it is actively working to close achievement gaps within its walls.

My kids made no academic progress here. I am very disappointed.May have been a good school in the past. Teachers are below average and lack enthusiasm to work. Front office and staff are rude all the time. The principal and teachers are discriminatory towards brown colored people. We were harassed all through the year for documentation and verification. No open communication about work completed during the week. The teachers post a blog for sharing information which has minimal information on tasks that would be done during the month but in reality no visibility of what was really completed.

They focus only on attendance and school policies which I noticed is their only job to do.

Lacks highly in education. Close Quote

My child currently goes to this school. The school campus and library is good. Teaching is bad and is below average. I am not sure how they get these rankings. The students are from well educated families hence come with some IQ. The principal, front office staff and teachers are very arrogant towards people of color and treat minorities differently. The principal does not respond to emails nor is willing to talk to parents. We get to see the principal in the PTO meetings and the PTO is highly controlled. The teachers do not care about the progress of the child. My child has made no progress in reading, math and science. They do not focus on education. They focus on the test score. The school is over crowded hence the staff and teachers are struggling and focusing only on policy handbook all through the year.The G/T and after school care application selections are not transparent. The school staff say it is lottery but select people only whom they personally want to. They never sent any letter to us regarding the acceptance or waiting list for the G/T or after school care. Though my child is a G/T student nothing extra was taught to her. No extra classes no extra teachings. No G/T classes were given for my child all through the year.Highly rigged. I would not recommend this school for parents who are looking for good education for their kids. It is highly hyped by the community. The school ranking does not match with our personal experience with respect to the level of education. The teachers are below average and lack enthusiasm for teaching. You are not missing anything great by not attending this school. In fact you are saving yourself from great disappointment and agony. Nightmare. Close Quote
