Summary

H M Carroll Elementary in Houston, TX, serves 536 students in 1st through 5th grade within the Sheldon Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges but where this school is showing a clear upward trend, moving from the 18th percentile in 2019 to the 34th percentile in 2026. The school has a high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, yet it stands out for its strong performance in 5th grade, where students consistently outperform both the district and state averages in Reading and Math. This "5th Grade Effect" is a unique strength compared to nearby schools like Royalwood Elementary, L E Monahan Elementary, Sheldon Lake Elementary, and Garrett Elementary, suggesting effective strategies for preparing older students for middle school.

Carroll Elementary also excels with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 50th percentile statewide for this subgroup, a critical strength given the high number of ELL students in the area. However, there is a notable gender performance gap, with female students significantly outperforming male students, indicating a need for targeted support for boys. The school's Gifted and Talented program shows volatility, with scores dropping dramatically in recent years, which may be due to a small number of students or changes in the program. Additionally, the Spanish STAAR program for 3rd graders is a mixed bag: reading scores are strong, but math scores lag behind state averages.

Compared to Purple Sage Elementary in Galena Park Independent School District (Isd), which has a similar poverty rate but higher spending per student, Carroll performs well given its resource constraints. More impressively, Carroll outperforms KIPP Legacy Preparatory, a charter school with an even higher poverty rate, in nearly every grade and subject. While L E Monahan Elementary, located just 0.87 miles away, has been in steep decline, Carroll's steady improvement demonstrates that effective leadership and targeted instruction can make a real difference, even in challenging circumstances.
