Summary

Doss Elementary in Austin, TX, is a high-performing school serving 930 students in grades PK through 5 within the Austin Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine consecutive years, consistently ranking in the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools. The school stands out for its exceptional mathematics proficiency, with 3rd-grade math scores in 2025-2026 reaching 80.65%, nearly double the district average of 45.81% and far exceeding the state average of 44.33%. This math achievement is a key differentiator, as Doss outperforms nearby high-performing peers like Hill Elementary (70.87%) and Gullett Elementary (69.14%) in this area. Despite being the largest school in its immediate high-performing cluster, Doss maintains a competitive student-teacher ratio of 14.5, which is lower than Brentwood Elementary (15.5) and comparable to Highland Park Elementary (14.4).

However, Doss reveals a significant equity gap in how it serves different student subgroups. While the school excels with its White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students—all ranking in the top 5-10% of the state—it struggles with economically disadvantaged students (18th percentile) and English Language Learner students (22nd percentile) in 2025-2026. This disparity is far more pronounced than at nearby high-performing schools like Highland Park, which likely has a smaller population of these subgroups. Additionally, the performance for Hispanic students has declined notably, dropping from the 80th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting the school may need to re-evaluate its support systems for a potentially changing demographic.

An interesting finding is a recent "science dip" in 5th-grade scores, which plummeted from 55.28% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 28.67% in 2024-2025, falling below both the district (35.34%) and state (29.57%) averages for the first time—a significant outlier compared to its otherwise stellar performance. Furthermore, spending does not predict performance here; Doss spends about $10,776 per student, while lower-performing nearby schools like Padron Elementary and Wooldridge Elementary spend more ($11,359-$12,896), indicating that Doss's success is driven more by factors like family socioeconomic status and community resources rather than raw financial input.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, May 23, 2014

We were at Doss Elementary for 7 years and finally left after last because of the poor management and over crowding. When we first started, there were about 550 kids and last year there was 950 and now all students are in portables for at least twoyears or more. This DOES have an impact on teaching, learning and safety. We were particularly unfortunate because my son was also sick for many months and the trip to the nurse was so far, he was often dissuaded from going. Safety is impacted because there is access to the portables from the street only a few yards away.
However, the main reason was the lack of compassion and ability to handle our son's illness (Crohn's disease). The 504 program is supposed to help the child be in an environment conducive to learning, but instead they used to to complain about his behavior and try to make it easier on the teacher. It mentioned nothing about his physical needs or emotional struggles. I finally took him out of school for 6 weeks while he was sick and had trouble even getting his schoolwork weekly or any help, much less a get well soon card. I used to worry about their lack of a gifted program, but that's the least of it... Close Quote
