Elementary Schools in Aldine Independent School District (Isd)

The Aldine Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 50 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten/kindergarten through 5th grade, with a few schools extending to 7th grade. This diverse district features a mix of high-performing and improving schools, as well as some that continue to struggle academically.

Among the standout schools are Worsham Elementary, which ranks in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools and has strong reading and math proficiency rates. Carmichael Elementary also performs well, with over 50% of students meeting or exceeding standards in 4th and 5th grade math. Additionally, Thompson Elementary has shown significant improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating, and Calvert Elementary has progressed from a 1-star to a 3-star rating.

However, the data also reveals substantial performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools within the Aldine ISD. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes. Additionally, the high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87% to 98%, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage that appears to be correlated with lower academic performance.
