Summary:
This analysis examines four elementary schools in the 77388 zip code of Spring/Klein, Texas, serving grades PK-5 (with one serving through 7th grade), and belonging to either the Klein Independent School District (Isd) or the School Of Science And Technology district.
Lemm Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with the top state ranking (73rd percentile) and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch (47.57%). In contrast, Roth Elementary presents a paradox: despite having the highest per-student spending ($9,702) and the smallest class sizes (13.6:1), it ranks slightly lower than Lemm. Sst Spring is unique as a charter school serving through 7th grade, and it shows a remarkable strength in 7th-grade Math, where 65.08% of students are proficient—more than double the state average. Meanwhile, Kreinhop Elementary has experienced notable volatility, dropping from the 81st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 52nd percentile the following year before recovering to the 67th percentile.
A key takeaway is that socioeconomic factors appear to strongly influence performance, as Lemm Elementary’s lower free/reduced lunch rate correlates with its top ranking, while Roth’s higher rate (65.59%) may offset its resource advantages. Additionally, 5th Grade Science is a universal weakness across all schools, with only Lemm exceeding the state average. Roth Elementary also faces challenges in its bilingual program, as STAAR Spanish scores are very low, particularly in 4th-grade Math (0% proficiency). For parents, Lemm offers the strongest overall academic profile, while Sst Spring provides a unique option with exceptional math outcomes for older students.
