Summary

Gregory-Lincoln Educational Center is a public magnet elementary and middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 494 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a magnet school, Gregory-Lincoln Educational Center has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 30.23% (3rd grade) to 65.45% (8th grade), compared to the district's 48.18% to 52.66% and the state's 52.02% to 56.39%. The school's performance in mathematics is even lower, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.57% (5th grade) to 50% (8th grade), compared to the district's 39.43% to 48.26% and the state's 37.68% to 46.24%. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 91.5% to 93% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby magnet schools, such as Macgregor Elementary, Harvard Elementary, and Ella J. Baker Montessori School, consistently outperform Gregory-Lincoln Educational Center on academic measures, with significantly higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and location in a lower-income area of Houston may also be contributing factors to its underperformance.
