Escamilla Elementary

Escamilla Elementary sits in the working-class northeast Houston community of Aldine, an area known for its tight-knit, predominantly Latino families and strong sense of neighborhood pride. The school's science scores stand out well above its English and math performance, suggesting some genuine strengths in hands-on learning that families might not expect given its overall ranking. Families who are deeply embedded in the Aldine community and looking for a neighborhood school with upside — particularly those who can supplement reading and math support at home — may find Escamilla a familiar, comfortable fit.
