*Ray K. Daily Elementary School (also known as Westside Relief, Houston, opened Fall 2007)
**The {{convert|7|acre|ha|adj=on}} school property is adjacent to the Memorial Ashford Little League facility. The campus had a cost of $14 million and the designer was RWS Architects. Its capacity is 750 students, and it opened to relieve Bush Elementary.<ref name=Bairdchanges/>
**It was named after Ray Karchmer Daily, an ophthalmologist who joined the HISD board in 1928. She promoted equal pay for HISD employees who were female and black, special education, industrial arts education, and reading programs. She lost her re-election campaign in 1952 because she advocated for free lunches for students; her opponents believed the promotion of free lunches was a Communist campaign.<ref>Kirkland, p.

**The school, first opened in 1912, was named after John Edward Durkee, a man from [[New York State]] who purchased an area he named "Little York" (after New York State) and sold land to the [[Harris County School District 25|Harris County School District #25]]. The first Durkee school, a four-room, red-brick building, was developed on that land, which is now the site of Fonville Middle School. The initial class at Durkee was mainly made up of [[Italian American]] immigrants. The school had three teachers by 1918, and Durkee became a part of HISD around 1920. From 1931 to 1947 the school was closed; it reopened due to an increasing student body. In fall 1954 the current campus opened; the original Durkee building was initially closed but reopened to house some primary school classes in the middle of the 1954-1955 school year. After the new building received an addition in 1958, the original Durkee was demolished and Fonville Middle was built in its place.<ref name=HoustoniansItaliandesc/>
