Kashmere Gardens Elementary

Kashmere Gardens Elementary sits in one of Houston's historically working-class east side neighborhoods, a tight-knit community with deep roots and a strong sense of place. Families here are navigating a school that faces real academic challenges — scoring in the lower single digits statewide — and those looking for strong test performance will want to weigh that carefully alongside other factors. That said, for families rooted in the Kashmere Gardens area, the school offers a familiar, community-connected environment close to home.
