Summary

West Elementary is a public elementary school located in Grand Prairie, Texas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 622 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.

West Elementary consistently performs better than the Arlington ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, West Elementary's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate is 53.25% compared to the district's 41.53% and the state's 52.02%. Additionally, West Elementary's 6th grade mathematics proficiency rate is 59.72%, significantly higher than the district's 36.03% and the state's 37.68%. The school's English Language Learner (ELL) students also perform well, ranking in the top 550-800 out of over 3,600 Texas elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school's Special Education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 1,979-3,436 out of over 4,000 Texas elementary schools in this subgroup.

West Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.95% to 72.99% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community. When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Beckham Elementary and Bryant Elementary, West Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic measures, particularly in reading and mathematics. Addressing the needs of the Special Education students and continuing to focus on targeted interventions and resource allocation could help West Elementary further enhance its educational outcomes.
