Summary

Walnut Grove Elementary in Southlake, TX, is a top-tier K-4 school serving 590 students within the highly-ranked Carroll Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 2% of all Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

What truly sets Walnut Grove apart is its world-class support for students who need extra help. The school is a powerhouse for Special Education students, ranking in the 100th percentile statewide in recent years, and also excels with English Language Learner and At-Risk students. This focus on inclusivity creates a highly effective learning environment for all. However, the school faces a unique challenge: its performance with Gifted and Talented students, while still strong, is notably lower than its other subgroups. This suggests the school's robust support systems may not be as effectively challenging its highest-achieving students. Additionally, while still excellent, Walnut Grove's math proficiency has seen a slight decline, dropping from around 87-88% in 2022-2023 to about 80-82% in 2025-2026, a trend not seen in nearby peers like Jack D Johnson Elementary or Carroll Elementary.

The immense advantage of being in the Carroll ISD is starkly illustrated when comparing Walnut Grove to nearby schools in other districts. For example, Timberline Elementary in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (Isd), just 4.7 miles away, had a 4th Grade Math proficiency rate of only 40.95% compared to Walnut Grove's 80.14%. This highlights how district boundaries create vastly different educational realities. While Walnut Grove remains an elite school, its primary challenge is the pressure of competing within a district of exceptional schools, where peers like Robert H Rockenbaugh Elementary have surged to the very top of state rankings. The school's focus for the future should be on re-invigorating its math curriculum and developing a more robust program to challenge its Gifted and Talented students to the same high standard it achieves for all others.
