of 4,651 Texas Elementary Schools

Better than 15% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Jessup Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD) in Houston, Texas, with 370 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools by SchoolDigger, receiving a 1-star rating for the past several years.

Jessup Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Pasadena ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests, with only 35.48% of 3rd graders and 40% of 4th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, and just 25.81% of 3rd graders and 28.07% of 4th graders achieving proficiency or better in STAAR Mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students with special needs, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective subgroups statewide. Despite spending more per student ($11,989 in 2020-2021) compared to the state and district averages, Jessup Elementary's academic outcomes have not improved.

Interestingly, Jessup Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of other nearby elementary schools in the Pasadena ISD, such as Meador Elementary and Freeman Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better rankings. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the varying performance across student subgroups suggest that Jessup Elementary may be facing significant challenges related to equity, access to resources, and targeted support for struggling students.
