Better than 23% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Carolee Booker Elementary is a PK-5 school in Houston, TX, serving 726 students within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, it is not the lowest-performing in its immediate area. For example, it outperforms nearby Helen Major Elementary and Ponderosa Elementary, though it trails Ginger McNabb Elementary and Pearl M Hirsch Elementary. A notable bright spot is 4th Grade Mathematics, where 51% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—higher than both the district and state averages, and the best rate among all nearby Spring ISD schools for that grade and subject.

However, the school faces significant challenges, particularly in 5th Grade Science, where only 7.5% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—roughly half the district average and a quarter of the state average. There is also volatility in 3rd Grade Math, which swung from 46% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 28% the following year. On a positive note, the school’s bilingual program appears relatively strong: Spanish-language STAAR scores often exceed the district average, such as 27% proficiency in 3rd Grade Reading Spanish versus the district’s 15%. Additionally, recent data shows improving trends for Hispanic students and low-income students, with their rankings jumping to the 45th and 40th percentiles, respectively.

For context, the nearby Sam Houston State University Charter School (83rd percentile) serves a very different demographic and achieves proficiency rates roughly double those of Carolee Booker, highlighting the challenge of educational equity. Overall, Carolee Booker is a school with clear pockets of strength—like 4th Grade Math and its bilingual program—but it must address critical weaknesses in science and stabilize inconsistent scores to build on its recent progress for specific student groups.
