Smith Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the Spring ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments in Reading, Mathematics, and Science. In 2022-2023, only 28% of 3rd graders, 35% of 4th graders, and 49% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to district averages of 35%, 32%, and 42%, and state averages of 50%, 47%, and 56%. The school's statewide ranking is low, placing in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of its student subgroups, particularly African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students.
While the nearby Conroe Independent School District schools, such as Snyder Elementary and Broadway Elementary, significantly outperform Smith Elementary and the Spring ISD schools, Smith Elementary's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a relative strength, with the school ranking 613 out of 2958 Texas elementary schools in this area in 2021-2022. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.21%) and the broader district-level factors may contribute to the ongoing academic challenges at Smith Elementary.
