Bush Elementary

Bush Elementary sits in the Alief area of southwest Houston, a densely diverse, working-class neighborhood where dozens of languages are spoken and immigrant families have put down deep roots for generations. The school's academics are a work in progress, and families who prioritize test-score performance may want to explore other options in the district. That said, for families already embedded in this tight-knit community, the richly multicultural environment and strong neighborhood ties can make it a meaningful place to grow up and learn.
