What is the best public school in Alief ISD?
Kerr H S in Houston, Texas ranks first among traditional public schools in Alief ISD with a Success Index (US) of 66.5 out of 100 (Enrollment: 807).

Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
