Garrett Elementary

Garrett Elementary sits in the far east Houston area, where the neighborhoods feel a bit removed from the city's hustle and families tend to put down roots for the long haul. The school's scores land in the mid-to-lower range for Texas, so families who prioritize academics may want to look closely at supplementing at home or exploring additional resources. That said, Sheldon ISD has a tight-knit, community feel that can appeal to families looking for a more close-to-home school experience in a quieter corner of Harris County.
