Kelso Elementary

Kelso Elementary sits in a working-class southeast Houston neighborhood where families are deeply rooted in the community, and while the school faces real academic challenges — particularly in English and Science — its math program shows more promise relative to its peers. Families choosing Kelso are often those who are committed to their local community and looking to be closely involved in their child's education, as schools like this tend to benefit most when parents and teachers work closely together. The surrounding 77033 zip code is a dense, urban Houston neighborhood with easy access to the broader city, and families here are often motivated by a strong sense of place and neighborhood pride.
