Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 77584

This analysis examines nine elementary schools in the 77584 zip code of Pearland, Texas, serving grades PK through 4th or 5th, and split between the highly-rated Pearland Independent School District (Isd) and Alvin Independent School District (Isd).

The standout school in the area is Silvercrest Elementary, a top 2% Texas school with exceptional test scores and the lowest rate of students on free/reduced lunch. Within Alvin ISD, Glenn York Elementary is the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 6% of the state, while Shirley Dill Brothers Elementary shows the most dramatic improvement, jumping to the 96th percentile. Conversely, H C Carleston Elementary is the lowest-performing school in the zip code despite being in Pearland ISD, with volatile rankings and scores well below district averages. Other strong, consistent performers include Magnolia Elementary and Silverlake Elementary, both ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools.

A key finding is that a school's socioeconomic profile is the strongest predictor of performance in this area, with schools having lower free/reduced lunch rates consistently achieving higher test scores and rankings. Interestingly, there is an inverse relationship between spending and performance: the highest-spending schools, H C Carleston Elementary and Massey Ranch Elementary, are the lowest-performing, while the lowest-spending schools are among the best. A notable anomaly in Alvin ISD is a dramatic drop in 5th-grade math proficiency for the 2024-2025 school year at schools like Mary Burks Marek Elementary and Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary, which warrants further investigation into the curriculum.
