Summary:
In zip code 77991, there is one elementary school, Industrial Elementary East, serving grades PK through 5 with 264 students, and it is part of the highly-rated Industrial Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide.
Industrial Elementary East shows a clear pattern of strong early-grade performance that fades by upper elementary. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders significantly outperformed the state average in both Reading (75.68% vs. 51.08%) and Mathematics (72.97% vs. 44.33%). However, by 5th grade, the same cohort fell below the state average in both subjects, with Reading at 39.58% (state: 58.47%) and Math at 35.42% (state: 47.38%). This "3rd grade peak and 5th grade cliff" suggests a systemic challenge in maintaining academic momentum through the upper grades. The school's state ranking has also been volatile, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating in the most recent year, ranking 1,545 out of 4,627 schools.
While the district is a top-tier 5-star system, Industrial Elementary East is a relative weak point, underperforming the district average in 4th and 5th grade Reading and Math. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, and 51.89% of students are economically disadvantaged. A potential bright spot is 5th grade Science, where the school's 35% proficiency in 2024-2025 was above the state average of 29.57%. Overall, this school provides a strong start for young learners but struggles to sustain that success through the later elementary years.
