Summary:

This analysis examines eight elementary schools in zip code 77075, serving grades PK-5 across the Houston Independent School District (Isd), Pasadena Independent School District (Isd), International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas), and Beta Academy, in an area where an average of 86.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The clear academic standout is Laura Welch Bush Elementary (Pasadena ISD), which reached the 90th state ranking percentile in 2024-2025 while spending less per student than the area average. For consistent, year-over-year excellence, Deanda Elementary (Houston ISD) is the top choice, maintaining a 4-star rating and 76th-78th percentile ranking for three straight years, and it is the only school in the zip code to exceed state averages in every grade-level Math test. In contrast, Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Elementary (Iltexas) struggles significantly, ranking in the 1st percentile with the highest student-teacher ratio (22.7:1) and very low Science proficiency (2.65% vs. 29.57% state). A notable paradox is Jessup Elementary (Pasadena ISD), which has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.8:1) and highest per-student spending ($11,989) yet ranks in the 10th percentile, proving that resources alone don't guarantee results.

Key takeaways include a universal weakness in 5th-grade Science, where no school met the state average, and a significant bilingual achievement gap, with students taking the STAAR in Spanish often scoring far lower than their English-testing peers. While Math is a major challenge for most, Deanda Elementary proves high achievement is possible. The three highest-spending schools—Atkinson Elementary ($12,177), Thomas Hancock Elementary ($11,920), and Jessup ($11,989)—all rank in the bottom half of the area, while the top-performing Bush spends less, highlighting that how money is spent matters more than how much. Overall, the area's average state ranking percentile is 45.1%, placing it slightly below the state median, with performance varying widely by school and district.
