Dr Shirley J Williamson Elementary

Tucked into the working-class community of Galena Park on Houston's east side, Dr. Shirley J. Williamson Elementary sits in a tight-knit neighborhood where families tend to put down roots and stay. English and math scores land right around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option, though science scores are an area where the school has room to grow. Families who value a close community feel and the stability of a smaller district just outside the Houston city limits will find a familiar, grounded environment here.
