Summary

Smith Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Spring, TX, serving 624 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has historically ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with recent data showing a slight improvement to the 27th percentile, but it continues to struggle with academic proficiency compared to district and state averages.

A key differentiator is the stark contrast with nearby schools in the neighboring Conroe Independent School District (Isd). For example, Broadway Elementary (1.71 miles away) and Snyder Elementary (2.88 miles away) rank in the 88th and 82nd percentiles statewide, with reading and math proficiency rates often double or triple those of Smith Elementary. This highlights how district boundaries can significantly impact student outcomes. Despite spending more per student ($12,670) than nearby Spring ISD peers like Ginger McNabb Elementary ($10,408) and Gloria Marshall Elementary ($10,166), Smith’s academic results remain low, suggesting resources are not translating into achievement. However, the school does have a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9, lower than many peers.

There are some bright spots. Smith Elementary shows relative strength in early-grade mathematics, with 3rd and 4th graders outperforming district and state averages in 2025-2026. Additionally, Hispanic students showed remarkable improvement, jumping from the 20th percentile to the 51st percentile in recent years, and Special Education students reached the 56th percentile. However, a dramatic decline in 5th-grade science proficiency—from 30% in 2022-2023 to just 5.94% in 2024-2025—is a major concern. Compared to its closest Spring ISD sibling, Gloria Marshall Elementary (0.68 miles away), Smith has a slightly better recent trajectory and lower student-teacher ratio, indicating some effective strategies, particularly in early-grade math.
