Summary

Salyers Elementary in Spring, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Spring Independent School District (Isd) serving 484 students, with a very high free and reduced lunch rate of 86.16% indicating significant economic challenges in the community. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 3% of Texas elementary schools for the past several years, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, with academic outcomes critically below both district and state averages across all tested subjects and grade levels.

What makes this school stand out is the stark contrast with nearby schools serving similar populations. Just 0.91 miles away, John Winship Elementary ranks in the 48th percentile statewide, while Northgate Elementary (65.43% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 54th percentile. In 5th-grade Math, only 23.44% of Salyers students were proficient compared to 56.96% at John Winship—more than double the rate. The school's performance has been stagnant or declining for five years, with no upward momentum, while nearby schools like Ginger McNabb Elementary have maintained significantly higher rankings.

Interestingly, Salyers spends $10,973 per student, which is more than the high-performing Sam Houston State University Charter School ($8,060) and comparable to other district schools like Pearl M Hirsch Elementary ($11,128), suggesting the issue is not funding but instructional effectiveness. There were small pockets of relative strength: in 2022-2023, 50% of 3rd graders taking the Reading STAAR Spanish test were proficient, double the district average, and Special Education students ranked in the 35th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, these bright spots have been inconsistent and do not offset the systemic underperformance across the school.
