Summary

Bammel Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Houston, TX, serving 697 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has historically ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools.

Bammel’s most defining feature is the stark performance gap with nearby schools in the Klein Independent School District (Isd). While Bammel ranks in the 10th percentile statewide, Lemm Elementary (just 1.44 miles away) ranks in the 73rd percentile, and Haude Elementary posts reading and math proficiency rates of 52-72%, compared to Bammel’s 21-40%. This disparity exists despite Bammel spending $11,806 per student—significantly more than Haude ($8,929) or Benfer Elementary ($9,920). However, there is a glimmer of hope: Bammel’s 2025-2026 ranking jump to the 10th percentile is its best in over a decade, suggesting recent interventions may be starting to work.

Two interesting findings stand out. First, Bammel’s Spanish-language STAAR scores often outperform both the district and state averages for Spanish-proficient students, indicating a relative strength in its bilingual program. Second, the school’s Special Education subgroup performance is volatile—ranking in the 56th percentile in 2023-2024, then collapsing to the 0th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic shift that warrants immediate investigation. For its core demographic of low socio-economic status students, the school ranks in the 7th percentile, showing that strategies for supporting its highest-needs population are not yet effective.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, November 20, 2014

*The teachers are mean, rude, racist and disrespectful to parents.
*Teachers grab kids by their arms and their collar real hard til the kids are saying it hurts or they cry.
*They humiliate kids and say they will make them cry.
*Teachers say bad words in front of students or to the students.
*No homework EVER.
*Award ceremony they make them sit on the floor and they will call their name, the student just stands up. They do not go on a stage or get awarded with a certificate then. The certificate is given to them in the classroom.
*Principal calls you back 2-3 days later when there is an incident.
*When I go to eat lunch with my son they are really mean to the students and scream at them, and tell them they can’t talk or the days they do get to talk it has to be level 1 if anyone else talks they mess it up for the whole lunch room. If it was a 4th grader who talked just a little bit loud it would ruin it for the whole 5th grade too. Close Quote
