Summary

Govalle Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 370 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD). Despite having a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the district average, Govalle Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the AISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.43% of 3rd-grade students at Govalle Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 58.14% for AISD and 52.02% for Texas. Govalle Elementary also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 88.38% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools in the AISD district, such as Campbell Elementary, Ortega Elementary, and Zavala Elementary, as well as local charter schools like Idea Health Professions Academy and University of Texas Elementary Charter School, Govalle Elementary's academic performance is significantly worse. This persistent underperformance suggests the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
