Williams Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Williams Elementary is a public elementary school in Garland, Texas, serving 259 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Garland Independent School District, which is ranked 535 out of 968 districts in the state.

Williams Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores, with only 37.5% to 51.72% of students proficient or better in reading, and 20.59% to 41.03% proficient or better in math, depending on the grade level. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade science, with only 2.56% of students proficient or better, compared to 20.85% in the district and 26.29% statewide. This is likely due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Williams Elementary, which stands at 84.94%, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby Freeman Elementary and Caldwell Elementary also serve high-needs populations, the district's magnet schools, such as Walnut Glen Academy for Excel and Kimberlin Academy for Excel, significantly outperform Williams Elementary in academic achievement. This suggests that the district's magnet school model, which likely provides additional resources and targeted interventions, may be an effective approach for improving outcomes in high-needs schools like Williams Elementary.
