Summary:
The 77037 zip code area in Houston, Texas is home to 6 public schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all of which serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations.
Among the standout schools in this area, Moreno Elementary ranks in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools and has the highest test scores across reading, math, and science compared to the other elementary schools. Stovall Middle also stands out, with an impressive 80.33% of students scoring proficient or better in Algebra I, significantly higher than the district and state averages. As the only high school in the data set, Aldine High School has a higher than average graduation rate of 75.5% and performs better than the Aldine Independent School District average on several end-of-course exams.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in student performance on state assessments, with some schools, such as Carroll Elementary, having only 20.25% of 3rd-grade students scoring proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which range from 94.18% to 99.43% across the schools. Despite these obstacles, the data suggests that with the right resources and support, schools in this area can still achieve success, as evidenced by the performance of Moreno Elementary.
