Robert Crippen Elementary

Robert Crippen Elementary sits in Porter, a fast-growing community on the northeastern edge of the Houston metro where new subdivisions are popping up alongside longstanding Texas ranch country. The school serves a neighborhood in transition, and while test scores currently sit below state averages across English, math, and science, New Caney ISD has been investing in its expanding communities as families continue to relocate to this more affordable corner of Montgomery County. Families drawn to the area by lower housing costs and a small-town feel will find a school that reflects a community still finding its footing, making it a place worth watching as the region continues to grow.
