Northgate El

Northgate EL is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 727 students. Operated by Spring ISD, the campus sits about 1.8 miles from Spring News's newsroom and is part of Spring News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 47 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 15.5:1. That ratio is roughly in line with the state average for TX public schools.

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