We believe in strength and unity in the midst of diversity among all students, parents, and community members. We will work as a team, challenging one another to reach our highest potential.

We will foster life-long learning, growing with our students as our ideas and values are woven into their dreams and aspirations.

Escamilla Intermediate School is a 5th and 6th grade campus in the Aldine Independent School District in Houston, Texas.

Escamilla Intermediate is an exciting place to learn. We have a highly motivated faculty whose goal is to provide the best educational experience for each student. This can only be achieved by school, parents, and community working together to make a difference. We must be a community of learners.

Students representing Escamilla Intermediate School have consistently placed among top award winners competing in the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Art Show. Students are encouraged to develop their fine arts talents by participating in the Escamilla Band and Choir which are among the best in the district. Our students compete in History and Science Fair. We also have fifth and sixth grade Destination Imagination teams.

Our Escamilla pride is reflected in all with which our students are involved. We are producing the nation's best.

Students may enter the building at 7:45 am, and dismissal is at 3:50. At 8:00 am, the students may eat breakfast in the cafeteria and then go to their morning room. The instructional day consists of Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies, and Electives. Electives are Music, and PE for 5th grade. 6th graders may have Band, Choir, Music, Art, PE, and Spanish. Students needing extra assistance in Math and Reading can receive that help with Math and Reading Labs as elective classes.

· Closing the achievement gap between economically disadvantaged students.

· Developing students' self-esteem.

· Promoting continuous improvement of technological skills.

· Providing for experiences in fine arts.

· Reviewing and assessing annually all curriculum programs and guides.
