Summary:
There are four elementary schools in zip code 77320, serving grades PK through 5 (with one serving grades 3-5), all part of the Huntsville Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas districts.
Among the four schools, Huntsville Elementary is the highest-performing, ranking in the 13th percentile statewide and posting the strongest test scores in the area, including 5th-grade Reading (49.52%) and Math (29.25%). Scott Johnson Elementary shows some positive momentum, with its 4th-grade Reading (33.85%) and Math (31.78%) scores beating the district average, though its overall ranking remains low at the 7th percentile. Samuel Houston Elementary faces the most significant challenges, with the lowest 4th-grade Reading score (20%) and the highest student-teacher ratio (26.6:1), despite spending the most per student ($9,509). Texas Online Preparatory Elementary is unique as an online-only school with a lower rate of economic disadvantage (65.33% free/reduced lunch), but its academic performance is still very low, especially in Math.
A key takeaway is that all four schools significantly underperform compared to state averages in every subject, with 5th-grade Science scores (highest at 11.93%) being less than half the state average (29.57%). The data also reveals a spending paradox: Samuel Houston Elementary spends the most per student but has the worst outcomes, while Scott Johnson Elementary spends the least but shows a better ranking trend. Overall, rankings for all schools have been declining over the past few years, indicating they are falling further behind other schools in Texas.
