Summary:
There are four elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 in the 77062 zip code of Houston, Texas, all part of the highly rated Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd).
Falcon Pass Elementary is the standout performer, consistently ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide and achieving the highest test scores in reading, math, and science across nearly all grade levels. In contrast, G H Whitcomb Elementary faces the greatest challenges, ranking in the 37th percentile with the lowest proficiency rates and the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch. John F Ward Elementary and Clear Lake City Elementary fall in the middle, ranking in the 74th and 76th percentiles respectively. Notably, Clear Lake City Elementary shows a unique strength in 5th grade, where its reading and math scores were the highest in the zip code, even surpassing Falcon Pass.
A key takeaway is that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results; while Falcon Pass spends the most at $12,176 per student, G H Whitcomb spends $10,801 yet performs the lowest. Science is a universal weakness, with 5th-grade scores at John F Ward (20.39%) and G H Whitcomb (12.94%) falling far below the state average of 29.57%. Overall, the data reveals a clear link between economic disadvantage and academic performance, with schools serving fewer students on free or reduced lunch generally achieving higher rankings and test scores.
