Summary:
This analysis examines eight elementary schools in the 77396 zip code (Humble, TX), serving grades PK-5 (with one charter school offering 6th grade), split between the Humble Independent School District (Isd), the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), and the Texas College Preparatory Academies.
The standout school is Fall Creek Elementary, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide and is the only school consistently outperforming district and state averages across all subjects. In contrast, Francis Elementary and Johnson Elementary (both Aldine ISD) rank in the 5th and 18th percentiles, respectively. North Bend Elementary (Humble ISD) is the most improved, jumping from the 19th to the 54th percentile in two years despite 90.49% of its students being economically disadvantaged. The charter school, Ignite Community School - Humble, ranks in the 64th percentile with a high student-teacher ratio of 18.4:1, showing efficiency. Ridge Creek Elementary (Humble ISD) has a notable bilingual program, with 85.71% of Spanish-language test takers proficient in 5th-grade reading versus 33.33% for the district.
A key finding is the stark performance gap between districts: all Humble ISD schools (including Park Lakes Elementary and Jack M Fields Senior Elementary) outperform Aldine ISD schools. Spending per student is inversely related to performance, with top-ranked Fall Creek spending the least ($8,238/student) and lower-ranked Jack M Fields spending the most ($13,698/student). A systemic "science gap" exists, with 5th-grade science scores low even at Fall Creek (39.68% proficient).
