Summary

Shadydale Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 604 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shadydale Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to HISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also struggles to meet the needs of certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools for female, male, Hispanic, and gifted and talented students. Despite relatively high per-student spending and fluctuating student-teacher ratios, Shadydale Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to other nearby schools within HISD, such as Hilliard Elementary and Fonwood Early Childhood Center, Shadydale Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates and rankings. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it may face significant socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning and achievement, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these challenges.
