About Our Lady of Guadalupe School

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE SCHOOL serves 183 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade in Houston's Harris County. This elementary school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 with 15 full-time equivalent teachers, creating opportunities for more individualized attention in the classroom. The school receives a MySchoolScout rating of 7.9 out of 10, though it ranks #726 out of 884 Texas schools, placing it in the 18th percentile statewide with room for academic growth.

The area reflects Houston's dynamic character, with a median household income of $87,618 and median home values around $345,400.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 183 students, Our Lady of Guadalupe School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Our Lady of Guadalupe School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
