We offer honors classes for the academically able and accelerated students.
We also offer strong grade-level classes providing a main line curriculum.
A child's character is of the utmost importance to us.
We realize the significance of encouraging students to live a life of integrity, coupled with kindness, and accountability.
These values, which are encouraged on a daily basis, will make them stronger students and better citizens. .

Trafton focuses on what we consider to be the foundational subjects: reading, grammar, writing, and math. If a child has a strong foundation in these subjects, it will overflow into their science, social studies, geography, and foreign languages. Trafton offers the following subjects on a daily basis: reading, grammar, writing, math, history, science, Spanish (7th/8th graders only), computer science, and geography. We also offer p.e. on a daily basis along with a daily recess for the entire school. We firmly believe that the well-rounded student needs to be involved academically as well as with extracurricular activities such as: photography, bookclub, journalism, community service, cheer, spelling bee, and geography bee.Trafton competes in the Greater Houston Athletic Conference in the following sports: soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, cross country, tennis, and track.
