Jones El, Humble TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Jones El

Jones Elementary serves grades one through five in Humble as part of Aldine ISD. The school has an enrollment of roughly seven hundred students, with the vast majority qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly Hispanic and Black, with smaller populations of Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, multiracial, and White students.

The school's recent academic performance shows mixed results across tested grades and subjects. In third-grade math, results were stronger, with a solid share of students meeting or exceeding proficiency. By fourth grade, however, math proficiency dropped substantially. Third-grade English language arts results were also below halfway to proficiency. Fourth-grade ELA performance on the Spanish assessment was somewhat stronger than third-grade English results, though still modest. Fifth-grade data on both math and ELA assessments came from very small cohorts, making those results difficult to interpret.

Across all subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index sits above the midpoint among Harris County districts, a position that reflects a profile facing real academic challenges even as it outpaces some peers. The data available does not indicate chronic absenteeism rates or four-year graduation rates, which do not apply to an elementary school. The school's staff count, course offerings specific to this grade band, and whether the school participates in any special programs are not detailed in the available information.

The Humble area where Jones Elementary sits has moderate housing values with slight recent decline. Rental costs remain steady. The local economy shows standard employment levels, and mortgage rates in the region are in the mid-range. A substantial share of students come from economically disadvantaged households, consistent with the free-and-reduced-lunch enrollment figure. The school sits in a community context where family economic need is high and academic proficiency rates warrant close attention and targeted support. For families considering this school, the takeaway is a young elementary setting where a large majority of students qualify for assistance, academic performance is working toward but not yet at strong proficiency across the board, and the school operates within an environment of significant economic challenge.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
