An overview of Houston public schools
The federal directory lists 766 public schools in Houston, TX: 440 elementary, 133 middle, 152 high, 41 combined or other. The 754 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 522,219 students, an average of 693 per school. The largest campus is Texas Connections Academy at Houston (8,641 students), and the largest elementary school is Piney Point El (1,286).
Houston ISD operates the most schools here (268), and 16 regular districts have at least one Houston campus, plus 50 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.3:1, higher than the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 178 charter schools, 119 magnet schools, 45 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 139 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 103 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 74 of 146 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 80% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
