Arlyne & Alan Weber El, Houston TX

Original Research by School Decision on Arlyne & Alan Weber El

Arlyne & Alan Weber Elementary serves children from Pre-K through fifth grade in the Blackhawk area of southeast Houston. The school is part of Clear Creek ISD.

The student body is diverse and economically mixed. About half the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The composition reflects Houston's settlement patterns: a substantial share are Asian, with sizable Hispanic and white populations, and a smaller Black student population.

In math, Weber shows solid performance. Fourth graders score above the midpoint across the county's district schools on proficiency. Third and fifth graders land in the top quartile countywide. The breadth matters: nearly all students reach the "approaches" level in math, more than half meet grade-level standards, and a meaningful share achieve the highest mastery tier.

English language arts is weaker. Third grade sits well below fourth and fifth grade, each of which cluster in the low-to-mid range for the county. Third grade proficiency is substantially lower than in math, while fourth and fifth grade track closer to their math numbers. Reading readiness in the early grades may be an area a parent would want to explore further with the school.

Science testing, conducted only in fifth grade, shows the lowest performance across subjects. Fewer than half of fifth graders meet proficiency, a notable gap from the math and ELA results at the same grade. Social studies shows similar strain, with only a small fraction achieving mastery.

The school is located in an area shaped by Houston's absence of traditional zoning. Commercial, industrial, and residential uses coexist in close quarters. The immediate neighborhood is suburban in character.

The surrounding housing market, reflected in the 77089 zip code, sits below state and national benchmarks on home values, with rents stable but with modest recent decline in purchase prices. The region is experiencing rapid growth; Houston metro added a substantial population in the past year, though growth has been shifting increasingly to outlying counties beyond Harris. The broader Harris County housing market shows moderate supply and modest demand.

School data was not available on English learner enrollment, special education counts, chronic absenteeism, or discipline. A parent considering this school may want to ask the school directly about supports for English learners and students with disabilities, as well as any strategic priorities the school is pursuing in reading and science.

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.
