Summary:
The six public schools in zip code 77037 (Houston, TX) serve 5,822 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with the vast majority of families facing significant economic challenges, as all schools report a free/reduced lunch rate above 89%.
This area is dominated by the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), which operates five of the six schools, while Moreno Elementary is part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd). Stovall Middle stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with 89.83% of test-takers proficient—far exceeding district and state averages—though its general math scores are critically low. Carroll Elementary shows consistent improvement, rising from the 18th to the 49th percentile in state rankings over three years, with strong 4th-grade math proficiency (67.33%). Bussey Elementary excels in its bilingual program, with Spanish-language STAAR test-takers outperforming district and state averages in reading and math. Aldine High School has a graduation rate of 83.0% and a dropout rate of 2.2%, with U.S. History as its strongest subject (61.01% proficient).
Key metrics show an average per-student spending of $11,205 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1, though Moreno Elementary has the highest ratio (17.8:1) and lowest spending ($9,708). A critical weakness across all schools is 5th-grade science, with proficiency ranging from 14.86% to 21.78%, well below the state average. The data suggests that while elementary bilingual programs and targeted advanced math at Stovall Middle are bright spots, students often enter high school underprepared, as seen in Aldine High School's low Algebra I (27.7%) and English I (31.23%) proficiency rates.
