State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Houston 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, Lee EL is one of the campuses The Houston regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
