Housman Elementary

Housman Elementary sits in the Spring Branch area of Houston, a dense, working-class neighborhood west of the loop that's known for its tight-knit Latino community and longtime residents. The school's science scores are its bright spot, landing above the state median, and families who value a community-rooted environment over a highly competitive academic setting may find it a comfortable fit. Spring Branch ISD as a whole punches above its weight for a district serving a largely lower-income population, so there's genuine institutional support behind schools like Housman even when the numbers are mixed.
