Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Elementary

Windmill Lakes Elementary sits in the southeast Houston area, a working-class neighborhood where families are often drawn by affordability and accessibility to the broader city. As part of the International Leadership of Texas charter network, the school emphasizes leadership and character development, but its academic performance has room to grow — making it a better fit for families who prioritize the school's values and community mission over raw test scores.
