We're thrilled to announce that YES Prep Airline Elementary has been recognized as one of six "Houston Schools That Inspire" by Good Reason Houston! This prestigious designation celebrates our schoolwide commitment to excellence in early childhood education and college preparation. 

What sets Airline Elementary apart is its innovative integration of social-emotional development with college-preparatory academics. From Pre-K onward, the school fosters resilient family partnerships and guides students on a journey from preschool to college. It’s a holistic approach that creates a foundation for lifelong learning and success for our SPARKS. 

Some highlights of our inspiring work include: 

• A "college starts at pre-K" mindset, visible throughout the school 

• Significant academic progress, with over 90% of pre-K students excelling in phonological awareness and letter naming 

• A culture that balances rigorous learning with joyful experiences 

Principal Cynovia Hall attributes Airline Elementary’s success to a dedicated team of educators committed to continuous improvement. "I tell prospective teaching assistants to observe for a day, because we work hard here," she shares.
