Summary

Blackshear Elementary in Klein, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 722 students in grades PK through 5 within the Klein Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 4-star rating for six consecutive years, reflecting a strong upward trajectory from its 54th percentile ranking in 2017-2018 to its current 86th percentile statewide.

What truly sets Blackshear apart is its exceptional performance with students who qualify for free or reduced lunch (54% of its student body), ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for this group—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Krahn Elementary and Kohrville Elementary, which serve similar demographics but rank lower overall. The school also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 89th percentile, and its 5th graders consistently outperform district and state averages in both Reading and Math. While Blackshear is a standout in Klein ISD, it faces competition from neighboring Tomball Independent School District (Isd) schools like Wildwood Elementary and Willow Creek Elementary, which serve more affluent populations and rank in the 95th-98th percentile.

Despite its strengths, Blackshear has areas for growth, including inconsistent performance in subgroups like Special Education and Asian students, and a challenge with students taking the STAAR Spanish test, where proficiency was 0% in some grades. However, the school’s efficient spending ($9,424 per student) and its clear upward momentum suggest it is effectively closing achievement gaps and could soon reach the elite tier of its highest-performing neighbor, Hassler Elementary.
