Houstonians for Great Public Schools

driving student success with strong school boards

Grade level reading

In Houston ISD, only 35% of Black and 40% of Latino 3rd grade students read on grade level, a critical indicator for academic success.

Math proficiency

Only 28% of 8th grade Houston ISD students are proficient in math. For economically disadvantaged students, it drops to 23%.

What We Do:

Advocate

Advocate for student-centered policy priorities that improve the conditions in public schools for students to succeed

Support

Support and elect leaders who advance those policies on local school district boards

Unite

Unite parents, voters, candidates, and elected leaders around a shared agenda for transformational change in Houston school districts

GPS-endorsed school board leaders will:

Prioritize students

Prioritize student outcomes in all decisions about resource allocation: human resources, financial resources, and time.

Support

Support the creation of high quality, public school options, especially in neighborhoods that do not have access to great public schools.

Remain accountable

Use academic accountability data to make decisions to improve student achievement, and ensure all data is transparent and readily available to families.

Commit
