Summary

Kerr Elementary in Allen, TX, is a high-performing K-6 school serving 654 students as part of the highly-rated Allen Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a long history of academic excellence, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for every year on record, its overall state ranking has seen a gradual decline from the 100th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 90th percentile in 2025-2026. This positions Kerr as a strong, reliable choice, but not the absolute highest-achieving option in its immediate area, with nearby schools like Beverly Cheatham Elementary (ranked 49th) and Mary Evans Elementary (ranked 77th) consistently outperforming it in overall state rankings and subject-specific test scores.

The most notable academic differentiator is a significant weakness in 5th-grade science. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.37% of Kerr’s 5th graders were proficient in Science, dramatically lower than the district average (46.57%) and far below peers like Beverly Cheatham Elementary (78.43% proficient) and Frances E Norton Elementary (68.6% proficient). This points to a systemic issue in the science curriculum or instruction at the 5th-grade level. Additionally, math scores, while generally above state averages, are inconsistent, with 4th-grade math proficiency (58.76%) falling below the district average (64.77%) and significantly lower than Frances E Norton Elementary (86.42%).

Despite these challenges, Kerr shows clear strengths in upper elementary reading, with 5th and 6th-grade reading proficiency (84% and 85.57%) significantly above district and state averages. The school also demonstrates consistent support for Special Education students, with this subgroup ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in 2025-2026, earning a 5-star rating. Nearby schools from the Plano Independent School District (Isd) present a fascinating contrast: Beverly Elementary is a top-tier school that outperforms Kerr in almost every subject, while Rasor Elementary is a struggling school with very low test scores, highlighting how school performance can vary dramatically even within a small geographic area.
