Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 27.3/100 — 11.5 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
9 elementary schools span 18 points around an average of 27.3.
Megan Cope Elementary is the strongest option at 37/100 — 14.3% of its students exceed the state standard.
22.2% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.

San Jacinto Middle College High is the strongest option at 52/100 — 10.7% of its students exceed the state standard.
41.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Megan Cope Elementary at 37/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 16 ranked schools is a charter and 1 runs a magnet program — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — 3 campuses here rank as On the Rise, their returning cohorts gaining more than most schools statewide. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.
