Northside Elementary

Henderson is a small East Texas town with deep roots and a tight-knit feel, but families considering Northside Elementary should know that academics here are a challenge — the school ranks in the lower fifth of Texas elementaries, with English and math scores in the 18th and 21st percentiles respectively. It may be a good fit for families who value a smaller, community-connected school environment and are prepared to supplement learning at home or through tutoring. Science is a relative bright spot, and for families already rooted in the Henderson area, getting involved early and staying engaged can make a real difference here.
