Like all of the Meyerland elementary schools operated by the Houston Independent School District, Elrod Elementary School houses a magnet program. Elrod’s school-wide Emerging Medical Scholars Magnet program provides students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade with hands-on research opportunities to learn about medical topics. Beside the standard Houston Independent School District curriculum, Elrod’s 750-plus Rising Stars participate in weekly science labs and health classes.
Located at 6230 Dumfries Dr., Horace W. Elrod Elementary School was named after a long-time principal in the Houston school district and opened in 1964 as a math and science magnet school. The school maintains its academic excellence with the medical magnet and dual-language programs.
The dual-language program allows interested students to learn a second language by being taught in both English and Spanish. Students keep their first language and all the customs and traditions associated with it while becoming fluent in a second language.
