University of Houston Charter School (UCHS) was a state charter primary school located in the Melcher Gymnasium 100 at 3855 Holman Street in Houston, Texas, United States. The school was operated by the University of Houston.[1] The university operated the school in affiliation with its Human Development Laboratory School.[2] The Texas State Board of Education chartered the school.[3] Circa 2002, it was the only school counted by the U.S. Census Bureau as a "dependent school system" (that is, dependent on another layer of government) in Texas.[4]

The school first opened on January 29, 1997.[5] It was one of the nineteen schools to be granted the first school charters under Texas law. In 2007 it had almost 130 students.[6] Historically the maximum enrollment was 138.[3]

The education program emphasized problem solving and was known as "constructivist".[6] The UH board annually spent $268,000 to operate the school.[3]

In December 2020 the principal alerted parents that the board would consider whether to close the school, catching some parents off guard.[7] That month the UH board voted to close the school due to problems with the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas and general financial problems. By December 2020 enrollment was down to 89, and the school had a shortage of employees. The charter was scheduled to expire in July 2021, when the institution would ordinarily have applied for renewal. The school was closed on July 31, 2021.[3][8]
