Terrace El

Terrace EL is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 383 students. Operated by Spring Branch ISD, the campus sits about 9.6 miles from The Houston's newsroom and is part of The Houston's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 28 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.7:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Terrace EL is a traditional zoned public school within Spring Branch 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. 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, Terrace EL is one of the campuses The Houston regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
