The top reported proficiency rate is 67% in Math. The lowest is 31% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Eiland El
Eiland Elementary sits in the unincorporated Klein community of northern Harris County, part of the broad suburban reach of Klein ISD and feeding into one of the Houston metro's faster-growing school corridors. The campus serves children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, and its student body reflects the neighborhood it draws from: the enrollment is predominantly Hispanic, with the large majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is a regular public elementary, not a charter or magnet program.
On the Texas STAAR assessment, the picture is mixed and worth reading carefully. Math is the clearer strength. Third graders are passing at a solid clip, and by fifth grade the math proficiency rate rises meaningfully to a level that reads as genuinely strong for an economically disadvantaged campus. Reading and language arts tell a more complicated story: third grade ELA proficiency sits at a level that families should ask about directly, though fifth grade ELA shows a real improvement over the earlier grades, suggesting students are gaining ground as they move through the building. Science, tested only at fifth grade in Texas, lands at a low proficiency rate, and that is the subject where a parent may want to ask the school most directly about instructional supports. Across all subjects, the share of students reaching the highest STAAR performance tier, "masters grade level," is modest district-wide, which is common for schools serving high concentrations of economically disadvantaged students, but it is a fair question to raise with teachers about what acceleration looks like for kids who are ready for it.
Relative to districts in Harris County, the school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile of the sixty-district comparison set. That position is worth noting, because it suggests the school is outperforming many peers that share similar demographic and economic conditions.
The fourth-grade assessment results are largely missing from the state data, with very few students tested at that grade in the English-language STAAR cohort; a small group appears to have been assessed on the Spanish-language version of the exam, and group sizes were too small to report results. This is not unusual for a campus with a heavily Spanish-speaking student population in the earlier transition years, but it does mean the testing data has a real gap in the middle of the grade band.
Specific information on English learner enrollment, special education rates, discipline data, attendance, and course or program offerings was not available in the data provided. A parent wanting to understand bilingual program structure, intervention services, or extracurricular access would do well to contact the campus directly.
The housing market around Eiland reflects Klein's broader growth story. Home values in the ZIP code have edged downward slightly year-over-year and sit below both the Texas and national medians, making this part of Harris County meaningfully more accessible than comparable suburban districts. Rents have also softened slightly. Harris County's market has more active inventory than a year ago, and homes are sitting a bit longer before going under contract, which gives buyers more room than the area saw during the peak years. Klein ISD, publicly reported as one of the fastest-growing districts in Texas, passed a major bond measure in 2022 to fund new schools, classroom additions, and safety upgrades in response to enrollment growth. The district has also lowered its property tax rate for several consecutive years, reaching what is publicly reported as its lowest rate in decades, which affects the ongoing cost of owning in the area.
Klein itself is car-dependent, organized around arterial corridors rather than a walkable center, with outdoor amenity concentrated in master-planned subdivisions and along Cypress Creek's greenway. Eiland's address puts it within this suburban fabric, where daily life runs on driving.
