Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 77401 (Bellaire, Texas) serve approximately 6,720 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades, all part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating.
The standout school in this area is Pin Oak Middle, ranked in the 98th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating, achieving a perfect 100% proficiency in Algebra I. Among the elementary schools, Kolter Elementary is a consistent top performer, ranking in the 91st percentile and posting strong 5th-grade reading (88.5%) and math (83.33%) scores. Horn Elementary (94th percentile) and Condit Elementary (93rd percentile) also earn 5-star ratings. However, Bellaire High School is the weakest link in this pipeline, ranking only in the 80th percentile (4 stars) despite being fed by top-tier schools, with a concerning Algebra I proficiency rate of 54.58%.
A key finding is the dramatic performance drop at the high school level, suggesting challenges in maintaining academic momentum. Science is a universal weakness across elementary schools, with 5th-grade science scores significantly lower than reading and math. Condit Elementary's bilingual program shows strong English reading scores but very low Spanish-language math proficiency (22.22% in 5th grade). Spending per student varies from $8,720 at Kolter to $9,371 at Bellaire High, while student-teacher ratios range from 16.3 at Condit to 19.4 at Pin Oak Middle.
