Summary

Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary is a PK-6 school in Midland, TX, serving 481 students within the Midland Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable academic turnaround over the past decade, climbing from the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools in 2016 to a consistent 3-star rating and the 68th percentile statewide by 2024-2025.

What truly sets Sam Houston apart from nearby schools is its sustained improvement and specific academic strengths. While many neighboring schools like Lamar Elementary (6th percentile) and Long Elementary (8th percentile) remain in the bottom quartile, Sam Houston has shown consistent growth over five years. The school particularly excels in science, with a 5th-grade proficiency rate of 40.32%—far exceeding the district average of 27.43% and outperforming every nearby district peer except the magnet James Bowie Fine Arts Academy. Additionally, Sam Houston serves its low socio-economic status students exceptionally well, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide for this subgroup, which is even higher than its overall rank. This effectiveness is supported by higher per-student spending ($16,056) compared to schools like General Tommy Franks Elementary ($8,797) and Midland Academy Charter School ($9,349).

Despite these strengths, the school shows a clear pattern of outperforming in reading while lagging in math, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. This suggests a strong literacy program but an area for growth in early math instruction. The school’s "Collegiate Preparatory" mission appears genuine, as its consistent performance and focus on building a strong academic foundation for all students—including those from disadvantaged backgrounds—demonstrates a systemic, sustainable improvement in teaching and school culture. This is especially impressive given that the nearby magnet school likely draws some higher-performing students away, making Sam Houston’s results a true reflection of its own efforts.
