Suchma El, Conroe TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Suchma El

Suchma Elementary serves early grades through sixth grade in Conroe, a fast-growing city in Montgomery County north of Houston. The school sits within the larger Conroe Independent School District, which educates a substantial enrollment across roughly 70 campuses. The district recently passed a major bond to build new schools and expand capacity to handle rapid population growth, making school assignments and availability an active concern for families considering the area.

The school's 2024-25 state assessment results show a mixed academic picture that strengthens significantly as students progress through the grades. In math, third-grade proficiency falls below the midpoint for the county's districts, but by sixth grade math proficiency is in the top quartile among Montgomery County schools. English/language arts shows a similar upward trajectory, with third grade roughly at the county median and sixth grade notably stronger. Science results, available only for fifth grade, sit near the midpoint. Across all tested subjects at all grades, Suchma's overall proficiency index positions it in the top quartile relative to districts in Montgomery County. The pattern suggests the school's strongest academic performance emerges in the upper elementary grades.

The school serves a diverse student body of just over thirteen hundred across grades PK through six. Roughly a quarter are Hispanic, about a fifth are white, a similar share are Black, and about a seventh are Asian. Free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility covers more than a third of students. Data on special education and English learner enrollment were not available. The school does not report chronic absenteeism or discipline metrics, which is typical for elementary schools in Texas; those measures are tracked at district level or for secondary students.

The neighborhood context matters for daily life. Conroe itself is a county seat and economic hub built around a historic downtown with pedestrian walkability, antique shops, restaurants, and galleries concentrated in the core. Outside downtown, the city is more typical of car-dependent suburban Texas. The broader area is defined by rapid growth through master-planned communities like Grand Central Park, with mixed pricing from entry-level townhomes to higher-end homes. Housing costs in the area are moderate relative to the national benchmark, and the local economy is diversified across retail, health care, manufacturing, and life sciences. Conroe ISD itself is ranked among the nation's largest employers and was recently named the highest-ranked school district on Forbes's Best Large Employers list, giving the district deep local standing.

Two parent-facing district changes affect families considering this school. In February 2025, the board adopted the Bluebonnet Learning curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade, a Bible-infused instructional program that drew organized community opposition and a petition with substantial signatures, so parents with strong views on religious content in public school instruction would want to confirm implementation at this site. Second, Conroe ISD maintains one of the Houston metro's lowest combined tax rates, held flat for the second consecutive year, and state action in late 2025 raised the school homestead exemption effective the 2026 tax year, making property tax a concrete cost advantage for relocating families.

A parent looking at Suchma should expect upper-elementary grades to show measurably stronger academic results than the lower grades, a diverse and economically mixed student population, and a location within a district actively managing rapid growth through new construction and bond funding. The site itself does not report specialized programs or course access information, so calling the school directly would help clarify any accelerated or intervention supports available.

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.
