A driving factor for many homebuyers is choosing a home is a high-ranking school district in order to give their children the best opportunities possible. Children at Risk, a Texas nonprofit, recently assessed and ranked all public elementary schools in the state.

Children at Risk based rankings on a number of weighted criteria, including:

  • Student Achievement Index – Student performance on STAAR reading and math tests
  • Campus Performance Index – A school’s overall campus performance compared to other campuses statewide with similar levels of poverty. An adjustment was made to eliminate bias toward campuses with low percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
  • Growth Index – Student-level improvement over time on standardized test scores in reading, English and math.
  • College Readiness Index – High school graduation rates, SAT/ACT participation rate and scores, and AP/IB participation rate and scores.

Three Houston-area schools made it on the statewide top 10 list: Buckalew Elementary in Montgomery County, Commonwealth Elementary in Fort Bend County and Creekside Forest Elementary in Harris County.
