About Spring ISD

Spring ISD serves 33,935 students across 43 schools in Texas. With 41 of those campuses carrying ranked scores, the district averages 5.5 out of 10 — a baseline that hides meaningful variation between its strongest and weakest schools. That gap matters for families: the top-rated campus scores 7.9, more than 40% above the district mean, which means school selection within Spring ISD carries real weight.

Ginger McNabb Elementary leads the district at 7.9 out of 10, the clearest standout in the lineup. Carl Wunsche Sr. High School follows at 7.5, one of the stronger high school options in the district. Hoyland Elementary and Edward Roberson Middle both land at 7.4, giving families a solid option at each level below high school. Spring Early College Academy rounds out the top tier at 7.4, offering a college-track pathway for high schoolers looking to get ahead on credits.

The 5.5 district average tells parents where the bar sits: any school at 7.0 or above is performing meaningfully better than the typical Spring ISD campus. Two of the five top-scoring schools are elementaries, which matters for families with younger children — a strong K-5 start at Ginger McNabb or Hoyland can anchor a longer path through the district. Edward Roberson Middle at 7.4 is the standout at the middle level, offering continuity for families already placed in the district's better elementary feeders.

Spring ISD's scale — 43 campuses, nearly 34,000 students — puts it in large-district territory. Larger districts tend to offer more program variety, but they also produce wider performance gaps across schools. Families comparing options here should treat the 5.5 district average as a reference floor, then weigh individual campus scores against their child's grade level and target geography before committing to an enrollment decision.
