Summary

Guerrero Thompson is a PK-5 elementary school in Austin, TX (78753) serving 548 students as part of the Austin Independent School District (Isd), where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Historically, Guerrero Thompson has been a standout performer in its area, consistently earning 3 or 4 stars and ranking in the top 40-50% of Texas elementary schools for most of the last decade. Its most impressive strength has been with at-risk students, earning a 95th percentile ranking statewide in 2021-2022. The school also boasts exceptional 5th-grade results: in 2024-2025, 82.35% of 5th graders were proficient in Reading and 68.42% in Science—scores that are dramatically higher than nearby schools like Graham Elementary (47.22% and 16.28%, respectively). Its bilingual program (Spanish) also consistently outperforms district and state averages. However, the school has experienced a sharp recent decline, dropping from the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2021-2022 to the 26th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. This decline is most evident in math, where only 15.49% of 3rd graders and 26.98% of 4th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, well below state averages.

Despite this recent drop, Guerrero Thompson remains a stronger academic option than nearby charter schools like Harmony Science Academy - Austin and Idea Rundberg Academy, which generally perform worse. Its per-student spending ($12,547) and student-teacher ratio (14.3) are in line with other Austin Independent School District (Isd) schools, suggesting the decline is not due to funding or class size. The school has proven it can achieve excellent results, especially in 5th-grade Reading and Science and with its most vulnerable students. The key question is how it can re-establish the effective practices that made it a standout in the past.
