Summary:

The 18 schools in Houston's 77083 zip code serve a diverse community of students from elementary through high school, primarily under the Alief Independent School District (Isd) and Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

The standout school in the area is Kerr High School, a small academic powerhouse ranked #8 in Texas with near-perfect test scores and a 100% graduation rate, despite serving a high-poverty population. In stark contrast, Taylor High School, the largest school in the zip code, struggles significantly with low proficiency rates and a graduation rate below the district average. Among elementary schools, Houston Classical stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 80th percentile with strong test scores above state averages. Charter schools show mixed results: Iltexas Westpark Elementary and Iltexas Westpark Middle perform in the middle of the pack, while KIPP Unity Pri has shown a concerning downward trend in its ranking.

A critical weakness across all middle schools is 7th-grade mathematics, with proficiency rates at Albright Middle (12.3%), Killough Middle (17.5%), and Hodges Bend Middle (12.57%) far below the state average. However, Albright Middle and Killough Middle excel in Algebra I acceleration, with over 87% of 8th graders passing the exam. While Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd) is the highest-ranked district overall, its schools within 77083—like Hodges Bend Middle and Mission Bend Glen Elementary—underperform relative to the district's broader success, indicating a pocket of higher need in this area.
