Neff Elementary

Neff Elementary sits in the Sharpstown area of southwest Houston, a densely diverse neighborhood known for its international restaurants, tight-knit immigrant communities, and affordable family housing. The school draws many families who are newer to the area and building roots, and its math scores show more promise than its English and science numbers, which suggests there's room to grow — particularly for families who can supplement learning at home or through tutoring. For families who love the cultural richness of southwest Houston and are looking for a neighborhood school with a community feel, Neff can be a starting point, though families prioritizing academics may want to explore other options within HISD.
