Summary

Chet Burchett Elementary is a large PK-5 school in Spring, TX, serving 982 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces systemic challenges.

This school stands out for its size—it is the largest elementary in its immediate area, significantly bigger than nearby Mildred Jenkins Elementary (603 students) and John Winship Elementary (524 students). A major bright spot is the remarkable turnaround for English Language Learners (ELL): the school’s ranking for serving these students jumped from the 15th percentile to the 77th percentile in just one year, suggesting a highly effective new program. This aligns with strong Spanish-language STAAR results, where 40% of 4th graders were proficient in reading and math, compared to lower scores on English versions. However, performance in math has been inconsistent—4th-grade math proficiency dropped from 25.9% to 18.2% before rebounding to 43.8%—while nearby schools like John Winship have shown steady improvement. The school also has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (18:1) than most neighbors, which may affect individualized attention.

Reading scores have shown a consistent upward trend across all tested grades, a positive sign for literacy. Yet, the school’s performance with Gifted and Talented students has sharply declined from the 75th percentile to the 17th percentile, indicating a need for more enrichment. Compared to high-performing outliers like Broadway Elementary in Conroe Independent School District (Isd) (88th percentile, serving a wealthier population), Chet Burchett’s challenges are typical of schools serving a predominantly low-income community, with 73.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school’s success with ELL students shows it can implement effective changes, and replicating that progress in other areas will be key to its future.

This is by far the most disorganized and low educated bunch of teachers and staff members I have ever dealth with. If you have any other options DO NOT send your children to this school. I am very concerned that my child is getting minimal if any valuable learning skills here. Close Quote
