Summary

Williams Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arlington, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 608 students. It is part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 660 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased spending per student, from $9,128 in 2018-2019 to $10,162 in 2020-2021, Williams Elementary consistently performs below the Arlington ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade STAAR Reading proficiency was 33.8% compared to the district's 41.53% and the state's 52.02%. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 5.97% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 21.18% and the state's 29.57%.

The nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, such as McNutt Elementary and FitzGerald Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, suggesting a broader challenge within the district. However, the Mansfield ISD school, Charlotte Anderson Preparatory Academy, which is slightly further away, outperforms both Williams Elementary and the Arlington ISD in STAAR Reading and Mathematics.
