Shenandoah is within the Houston Independent School District.
Cunningham Elementary School serves Shenandoah I, Shenandoah II, and Shenandoah III. Braeburn Elementary School serves SIGRID. Shenandoah is zoned to Jane Long Middle School (with Pin Oak Middle School as an option) and Lee High School (with Lamar and Westside high schools as options).
Cunningham Elementary School opened in 1953, Braeburn Elementary School opened in 1956, Long Middle School opened in 1958, and Lee High School opened in 1962. In the early 2000s Braeburn served sections of Shenandoah I and Shenandoah II and all of Shenandoah III and Sigrid, while Cunningham served sections of Shenandoah I and Shenandoah II. When Westside opened in 2000, residents of the Lee attendance boundary gained the option to attend Westside instead of Lee, with no free transportation provided.

Famous quotes containing the words primary, secondary and/or schools:
“If the accumulated wealth of the past generations is thus tainted,—no matter how much of it is offered to us,—we must begin to consider if it were not the nobler part to renounce it, and to put ourselves in primary relations with the soil and nature, and abstaining from whatever is dishonest and unclean, to take each of us bravely his part, with his own hands, in the manual labor of the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
