Eckert Elementary

Eckert Elementary sits in the northern reaches of Houston, in a working-class corner of Harris County where families are deeply rooted in their community even as the school faces some real academic headwinds. The school shows a bit more strength in science than in English and math, which could be a bright spot for kids with a curiosity about the natural world. Families in this part of Houston tend to be resilient and community-minded, and those looking to get involved and advocate closely for their child's education will find that engagement matters a great deal here.
