Port Houston El

Port Houston EL is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 278 students. Operated by Houston ISD, the campus sits about 11.2 miles from Bellaire News's newsroom and is part of Bellaire News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 21 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.2:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Port Houston EL is a traditional zoned public school within Houston ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Bellaire News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Houston considering elementary placement, Port Houston EL is one of the campuses Bellaire News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
