Summary

Wesley Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 296 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.

Despite its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average, Wesley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 3841 and 4517 out of around 4,600 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in the state. Its proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and years.

While the nearby schools in the Houston ISD district, such as Durkee Elementary, Durham Elementary, and Highland Hts Elementary, generally perform better than Wesley Elementary on STAAR assessments, the school's consistently low performance suggests that it may require more targeted interventions and resources to address the unique needs of its student population.
