Summary

Wooten Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 348 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD).

Wooten Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below the AISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Wooten's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were significantly lower than the AISD and state averages, with the largest gaps in 5th grade Science (5.56% vs. 35.34% for AISD and 29.57% for Texas) and 4th grade Spanish Reading (0% vs. 20.61% for AISD and 33.91% for Texas). The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,495 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 4,212 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. Wooten's academic performance is consistently lower than the nearby schools, such as Barrington Elementary, Reilly Elementary, Guerrero Thompson, Gullett Elementary, and Brentwood Elementary, which all have higher STAAR proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Wooten Elementary also faces challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with 93.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the AISD average of 78.9% for nearby schools. Despite the higher spending per student at Wooten Elementary ($13,512 per student), the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just increasing funding, and may involve targeted interventions, teacher professional development, and community engagement strategies.
