Better than 94% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Nottingham Elementary is a well-regarded public school in Houston, TX, serving 746 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently achieved a remarkable 94th percentile statewide ranking, signaling strong and consistent academic improvement.

What truly sets Nottingham apart is its ability to achieve top-tier results while serving a more diverse student body than its highest-performing neighbors. For example, while nearby Rummel Creek Elementary and Wilchester Elementary have very low rates of economic disadvantage, Nottingham serves a significantly higher percentage of students from economically diverse backgrounds. Despite this, it outperforms many schools with similar demographics, including Meadow Wood Elementary. The school also earns top marks for its work with specific student groups, including Hispanic students and those receiving special education services, demonstrating broad-based success. A standout feature is its math program: for four consecutive years, 100% of its 6th graders taking the 5th-grade math STAAR test scored proficient or above—a perfect record that far exceeds district and state averages.

However, parents should be aware of a few areas for growth. Nottingham’s 5th-grade science scores have been a persistent weakness, recently falling below the district average and trailing behind Bush Elementary in the neighboring Houston Independent School District (Isd). Additionally, while the school excels overall, its performance with "At Risk" students has been historically volatile, suggesting that not all students may be equally supported. In a landscape where nearby schools like Ashford Elementary and Shadowbriar Elementary struggle significantly, Nottingham offers a compelling middle ground—a high-quality education that is both accessible and effective for a wide range of families.
