Summary

Stevens Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 574 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.

Unfortunately, Stevens Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 65.96% of 3rd-grade students at Stevens Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.18% for HISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly weak in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low-income students performing significantly worse than their peers.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Durham Elementary, Garden Oaks Montessori, and Oak Forest Elementary, generally perform much better than Stevens Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population. While Stevens Elementary has higher per-student spending compared to the district average, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational programs and resource allocation.

Stevens elementary has fabulous teachers who are incredibly dedicated to the students. My older child has attended for 2 years. Like many HISD buildings, the exterior is no prize, but inside you'll find all sorts of neat workstations and some classrooms even have Smartboards. I know the school is trying to begin a tuition-based pre-k program, and I hope they get it up and running for the 2013-2014 school year so my younger child can attend. Close Quote
