Arizona Fleming El, Houston TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Arizona Fleming El

Arizona Fleming is a small elementary school in Fort Bend County, south of Houston, serving the early grades through fifth. The school enrolls students spanning preK through fifth grade, with a composition that is predominantly Hispanic and Asian, and a substantial portion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The academic profile shows areas of real concern. State test results available for tested grades show proficiency rates in reading and math in the lower range for the county. In third-grade reading, proficiency sits below the midpoint; in fifth-grade math, proficiency similarly tracks low. Fifth-grade science performance is notably weak. When positioned among the district schools in Fort Bend County, Arizona Fleming sits in the bottom quartile on overall proficiency. The school's test performance does not reflect the strength one would hope to see, and a parent may want to look closely at what instructional supports and literacy or numeracy interventions the school has in place to understand how the school is working to move these numbers.

The data available tells only part of the picture. Information on staff size, chronic absenteeism, school discipline, course access, and specific program offerings was not included in the record, so a reader does not have a full window into daily school operations or the scope of what the school provides beyond core academics. The school serves a high concentration of students learning English as an additional language, though exact enrollment data for English learners was not reported.

The setting sits in the 77083 zip code near Bissonnet Street, an area where home values are moderate and rental costs remain accessible. The broader Houston region is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in outer suburbs like Fort Bend, which drives both enrollment and community change. For families already in the area or considering relocation, this is a neighborhood school serving a working population with a diverse student body and real academic challenges that warrant direct conversation with school leadership about instructional direction and support services.

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.
