Note that there are portions of Houston zoned to schools outside of the city limits, and vice versa.
Each of these school districts has or had (in the case of North Forest) a majority of its territory in the Houston city limits, so consult the district pages for lists of their schools:
Most Alief ISD schools are in the city of Houston; those in unincorporated areas include Alief Taylor High School, Jack Albright Middle School, O'Donnell Middle School, Judith G. Miller Intermediate School, Charlette Taylor Hearne Elementary School, Howard J. Hicks Elementary School, David Kent Holmquist Elementary School, Willard L. Petrosky Elementary School, and Flem Rees Elementary School

The following are of school districts with some territory in Houston:
Only schools in the Houston city limits are listed here; schools physically located in unincorporated areas or other municipalities which have "Houston, Texas" United States Postal Service addresses are not listed here.
Woodland Acres Elementary School - Opened in the 1950s and occupied its current building in August 2018. As of 2019[update] it had about 400 students[21]
In addition the Harris County Department of Education, which is not classified as a school district under Texas law, operates HCDE Academic and Behavior Schools with two campuses in Houston, East and West.[46] They were previously known as Adaptive Behavior Centers (ABC). As of 2001[update] all school districts in the county may send students to these schools.[47]
Medical Center Charter School, a pre-kindergarten through 5th grade charter school, was located in the Westbury area. Despite its name, the school was not located in the Texas Medical Center area.[48] Medical Center Charter School opened in 1996,[49] and catered to employees working in the Medical Center and had the Montessori method,[50] used until grade two. Its specialty as of 2003 was foreign languages.[51] In 2014, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced that the school's performance was insufficient and that it sought to revoke its charter.[49] By 2018, its charter had closed.[52]
Melinda Webb School (infants to 7 years old) - Located in the Texas Medical Center,[58] it is operated by the Center for Hearing and Speech and was previously at 3636 W. Dallas.[59] The school serves as a day school for children not yet mainstreamed into regular classrooms and a speech and therapy center for those that are. Previously known as the Houston School for Deaf Children, it was given its current name, after a deaf girl, in 1997.[60] The girl died of leukemia circa 1958; a former student of the school, she had been the first area deaf child to be mainstreamed into a public school, as she began attending one in Texas City in 1954. Her father, Frank Webb, donated $1 million to what became the Melinda Webb School in 2002.[59] That year its enrollment was 35–40.[60] In 2020 it began admitting preschool students without hearing difficulties to provide a more mainstream environment.[58]
