Summary

Deanda Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Houston, TX, serving 670 students as part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a high-performing school in a predominantly low-income community, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Deanda Elementary consistently beats the odds, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for four consecutive years and ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools. This is a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Lewis Elementary (0 stars) and Mitchell Elementary, which struggle in the bottom half of state rankings. The school excels particularly in mathematics, with 4th-grade math proficiency 12 points higher than the district average and 13 points higher than the state average. Deanda also ranks in the 93rd percentile for serving low-socioeconomic status students, placing it in the top 7% of all Texas schools for effectively educating students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Its strong support for Hispanic and English Language Learner students further underscores its effectiveness, though performance for African American students is an area of relative weakness.

While Deanda shines in reading and math, science is a persistent weakness, with only 18.92% of 5th graders proficient in science, below both district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance for special education students has dropped significantly from the 88th percentile to the 55th percentile, a red flag that warrants attention. The school's bilingual program shows mixed results, with strong early-grade Spanish reading but weaker upper-grade math and science. Overall, Deanda Elementary is a standout example of a school that defies demographic challenges, though it has clear areas for improvement, particularly in science and special education support.
