    With about 168,812 students across 265 campuses, the average Houston ISD campus enrolls roughly 637 students, though elementary, middle and high schools differ a lot. Size affects commute, class offerings and how zones are drawn. Source: Texas Education Agency (TEA) data as published.

    Houston ISD moved from C to B in the latest TEA ratings (84 out of 100 in 2025, 79 in 2024). Year-to-year changes of a few points are common, and TEA changes its method over time, so read several years together. Source: Texas Education Agency (TEA) data as published.

  • Are homes near Houston ISD in a flood zone?

    About 11% of the homes for sale in the Houston ISD boundary are in a FEMA special flood hazard area, based on the flood zone recorded for each listing.
