Summary

Overton Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 425 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overton Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.38% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 58.14% in the district and 52.02% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 4.76% of 5th graders proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 47.41% in the district and 46.24% statewide. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 81.88% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Overton Elementary spends more per student ($13,757 in 2020-2021) compared to the district average, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Norman-Sims Elementary, Winn Montessori, and Pecan Springs Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Overton Elementary may be more systemic to the broader Austin Independent School District or the local community.
