Crockett Elementary

Crockett Elementary sits in the Heights-adjacent zip code of 77007, one of Houston's more sought-after inner-loop neighborhoods filled with walkable streets, local coffee shops, and families who've traded the suburbs for city life. The school's science scores are a genuine standout — ranking in the top 5% statewide — which could be a real draw for families who prioritize STEM engagement even in the early grades. It's a solid option for parents who want to stay close to the energy of central Houston while keeping their kids in a neighborhood school with some clear academic strengths to build on.
