Summary:
The 77396 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 8 elementary schools and 1 middle school, spread across two school districts - Humble Independent School District (ISD) and Aldine ISD. While the area has a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, standouts include Fall Creek Elementary, which ranks among the top 25% of Texas elementary schools, and Ignite Community School - Humble, a public charter school that also performs well.
The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with top-performing schools like Fall Creek and Ignite Community School seeing over 50% proficiency in reading and math, while lower-performing schools like Francis Elementary and Johnson Elementary struggle to reach 20-30% proficiency. These achievement gaps appear to be linked to factors like socioeconomic status, racial composition, and district resources, as schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates and highest minority populations tend to have the poorest academic results.
Interestingly, the schools with the highest per-student spending, such as North Bend Elementary and Jack M Fields Senior Elementary, do not necessarily have the best academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive improvements without addressing other systemic issues. The presence of a high-performing public charter school option, like Ignite Community, provides an alternative for families seeking a stronger academic environment for their children.
