Summary

Pickle Elementary is an elementary school located in Austin, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 386 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Austin Independent School District (Isd) elementary schools over the past several years, with a rating of 0-2 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Pickle Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's projected proficiency rates are 50% in 3rd grade reading, 40% in 4th grade reading, and 35.71% in 5th grade reading, compared to Austin Independent School District (Isd) rates of 58.14%, 57.87%, and 62.97%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly weak in mathematics and science, with projected proficiency rates well below the district averages.

While Pickle Elementary's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its struggles, the nearby Texas College Preparatory Academies and KIPP Texas Public Schools charter schools, which serve similar student populations, are able to achieve significantly better academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond student demographics, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may also play a role in Pickle Elementary's underperformance.
