Summary

Patton Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 776 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in the state.

Patton Elementary has a strong performance history, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5. The school's reading proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 4th and 5th grade students exceeding 60% in recent years. However, Patton faces challenges in addressing equity gaps for certain student subgroups, such as African American and low socioeconomic status students, who perform significantly worse than their peers.

Compared to nearby schools, Patton Elementary performs well, outranking lower-performing schools in the district like Sunset Valley Elementary. But it falls short of top-performing schools in the area, such as Kiker Elementary and Mills Elementary, which rank in the top 10% and top 1% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. Addressing these equity concerns and continuing to improve student performance should be the focus for Patton Elementary moving forward.

Open Quote Amazing leadership, great teachers Close Quote

Open Quote Patton Elementary is a fantastic school! They teachers are very close with each other and work together to meet the needs of each student. My children have excelled since moving here from River Place Elementary last fall. There was a lot of bullying at River Place and my children no longer face those issues at Patton. They have excellent teachers who really care for each individual student. The previous review is not correct in regards to the supposed "kidnapping attempt". That issue did not even take place on the Patton campus, but rather down by the post office more than a quarter mile away. They are currently in transition of a new principal due to the fact the last principal excepted an option to transfer to a high school from the elementary school. So being that she had older children and it was closer to her home, she chose to transfer over. There are 2 FANTASTIC interim principals who have an open door policy and are ready to solve any issues brought to their attention. There has never been an issue of an attempted kidnapping at anytime at this school. Close Quote

Open Quote The school security is non existent! There was an incident back in September of a stranger trying to kidnap a young female student. (came out on austin news!) When kids get hurt parents are never notified, the teacher hardly sends them to the nurse either. She'll just put band aids on the kids herself which the parents provide as well! The school doesn't even have a permanent principal, I think the previous one was fired when the kidnapping incident occurred an they havent gotten around to hiring a new replacement. School curriculum consists of crossword puzzles an we never get any written homework. Ive never seen or heard of no homework the school is a joke! Close Quote
