Summary

Florence Elementary in Southlake, TX, is a highly performing public school serving 475 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Keller Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

Florence Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where it has achieved a remarkable 100% proficiency rate on the 5th Grade STAAR Math exam for three consecutive years. This sustained perfection is a key differentiator from nearby Keller ISD peers like Woodland Springs Elementary and Ridgeview Elementary, which rank in the 70th and 77th percentiles respectively. The school also excels in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide, demonstrating inclusive excellence. However, it faces intense competition from neighboring Carroll Independent School District (Isd) schools like Carroll Elementary (ranked #14 in Texas) and Robert H Rockenbaugh Elementary (ranked #16), which set an incredibly high bar as top 1% schools.

While Florence is cost-effective, spending $10,301 per student and outperforming schools with higher budgets like Keller-Harvel Elementary, it shows a notable dip in 4th-grade math proficiency (73.44%) compared to its stellar 5th-grade results, suggesting a potential instructional gap. Additionally, performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds has declined from the 88th to the 56th percentile in recent years, indicating a need for renewed support strategies. Its closest rival, Hidden Lakes Elementary, holds a slight edge in overall academic performance, making Florence a strong but competitive choice in this high-achieving area.
