Ford El

Ford EL is a elementary school located in Spring, TX, serving grades -1–4 and approximately 901 students. Operated by Conroe ISD, the campus sits about 2.8 miles from Woodlands News's newsroom and is part of Woodlands News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 58 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.

Ford EL is a traditional zoned public school within Conroe 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. Woodlands News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Spring considering elementary placement, Ford EL is one of the campuses Woodlands News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
