Summary

Gloria Marshall Elementary in Spring, TX, serves 876 students in grades PK-5 within the Spring Independent School District (Isd), operating in a high-poverty area where about 75-81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, currently sitting in the 11th percentile statewide. This is significantly lower than nearby schools like John Winship Elementary (48th percentile) and Ginger McNabb Elementary (34th percentile), both in the same district. A critical weakness is 5th-grade science, where only 12.12% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 29.57%. However, the school shows a notable strength in serving English Language Learners (ELL), who ranked in the 57th percentile statewide. In contrast, Special Education students ranked in the 5th percentile, a dramatic decline from the 45th percentile just one year prior. This extreme divergence suggests the school has effective strategies for ELL students but needs to urgently address support for special education.

Interestingly, Gloria Marshall’s per-student spending ($10,166) is in the middle of the pack for district peers, yet it spends more than high-performing schools like Broadway Elementary ($8,033) in the Conroe Independent School District (Isd). This indicates that simply increasing funding isn’t the solution—how funds are used matters more. There is a slight, fragile upward trend in the school’s state percentile over the last three years, breaking a pattern of decline, but the school remains in a precarious position. The challenges at Gloria Marshall are not solely due to demographics, as nearby schools with similar poverty rates achieve much higher rankings, pointing to school-specific factors like leadership and instruction.
