Children at Risk announces annual top-ranking school districts for the 2023-2024 school year
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Children at Risk released its rankings for the best and worst-performing school districts in the Houston area in 2024.
Parents are paying close attention because the Texas Education Agency did not release its school ratings for that school year due to lawsuits over how they assess schools.
According to the nonprofit, Devers ISD ranked number one, followed by Harmony Public Schools - Houston West, Amigos Por Vida Friends, Friendswood ISD, and Tomball ISD.
In last place are Reve Preparatory Charter School, Bloom Academy Charter School, The Pro-Vision Academy, Two Dimensions Preparatory Academy, and Meyerpark Charter.
The rankings come from STAAR scores and year-over-year student growth, among other things. For the full rankings, visit the organization's website.
