Melba Passmore Elementary

Melba Passmore Elementary stands out in Alvin ISD thanks to particularly strong science scores that rank among the best in Texas — a real draw for families who want their kids getting a head start in STEM. Alvin itself is a growing community in Brazoria County, southeast of Houston, with a small-town feel that's increasingly attracting families looking for more space without straying too far from the city. If you're settling into this part of the Houston suburbs and want a neighborhood school with solid all-around academics and a science program that genuinely punches above its weight, Passmore is worth a close look.
