Summary:
Sneed Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,033 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 699 out of 968 districts in the state.
While Sneed Elementary shares demographic similarities with nearby schools, such as high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, the school consistently underperforms its peers. Sneed has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (63.41%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 48.52% to 84.72% Hispanic. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups like African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing well below district and state averages. Despite spending significantly more per student ($12,189) than the nearby Bush Elementary ($8,730) and Neff Elementary ($12,734), Sneed Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the past 10 years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 3,664 out of 4,260 schools in 2013-2014 to 4,338 out of 4,647 schools in 2022-2023.
The challenges faced by Sneed Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation strategies. While the school serves a high-needs population, its inability to translate additional funding into improved academic outcomes for students, particularly its diverse subgroups, indicates that a closer examination of the school's approach may be warranted to better support the success of all learners.
