Summary

Jordan Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Austin Independent School District (Isd) serving 492 students in a high-poverty area, where over 97% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Jordan Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing schools in Texas, falling from the 31st percentile in 2018-2019 to the 0th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. Academic proficiency is extremely low across all subjects and grade levels. For example, only 10% of 3rd graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, compared to 23.7% at nearby Overton Elementary. Most concerning, the school has recorded a 0% proficiency rate in 5th Grade Science for three consecutive years. The student-to-teacher ratio has also risen sharply to 19.6 students per teacher in 2024-2025, the highest among neighboring AISD schools and significantly higher than Norman-Sims Elementary (10.5) and Pecan Springs Elementary (11.8).

Despite receiving above-average per-pupil funding ($12,815), the school's outcomes are dramatically worse than nearby schools serving similar demographics. For instance, Winn Montessori (1.41 miles away) ranks in the 57th percentile with 62.9% proficiency in 3rd Grade Reading, while Jordan sits at 17.9%. Similarly, Magnolia Montessori For All (1.25 miles away) achieves 47.2% proficiency in 3rd Grade Reading with lower per-pupil spending ($9,660). This suggests the educational model and school culture, rather than just neighborhood demographics, are powerful drivers of student success. Historically, Jordan once ranked in the 79th percentile for serving "At Risk" students, but that strength has collapsed. English Language Learners face particularly severe challenges, with 0% proficiency on the Spanish 3rd Grade Math exam in 2025-2026.
