Summary:
In zip code 78010, serving the Center Point area of Texas, there is one elementary school, Center Point Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 with a total enrollment of 269 students and is part of the Center Point Independent School District (Isd).
Center Point Elementary presents a mixed picture of academic performance. The school ranks in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools (24th percentile for 2025-2026), and its overall ranking has declined slightly from the previous year. However, the school shows a notable "5th Grade Bounce," where 5th graders significantly outperform younger students. In the most recent school year, 5th-grade reading proficiency (61.29%) was more than double that of 3rd grade (26.19%), and it actually exceeded the state average. Similarly, 5th-grade math (45.16%) was nearly double the 4th-grade score (25%). This suggests that either the 5th-grade instruction is particularly effective or the current cohort of older students is academically stronger. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1 and per-student spending of $11,924, but 66.54% of students are economically disadvantaged, which is a significant factor.
Math is a critical weakness across all grade levels, with no grade reaching even 50% proficiency in the most recent year. The 4th-grade math score of 25% is roughly half the state average. Science is also a major outlier, with a 5th-grade score of just 11.9% in 2024-2025. The school's performance is highly volatile from year to year, likely due to its small enrollment, making it susceptible to the strengths and weaknesses of individual student cohorts. Despite having above-average resources, the school's low overall performance indicates that the challenge lies in the effectiveness of instructional strategies, particularly in math and science, rather than a lack of funding or large class sizes.
