Summary

Whitestone Elementary in Leander, TX, is a mid-to-high performing public school serving 855 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its consistent above-average academic performance in a relatively affluent community where only 18% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Whitestone’s most notable strength is its exceptional support for African American students, who ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. The school also excels with male students, who consistently rank in the top 22% of the state. However, there are clear areas for growth: female students rank lower at the 58th percentile, and math scores drop significantly in upper grades, with 4th and 5th graders falling behind district averages by 8.9 and 5.5 percentage points, respectively. Additionally, students from low socio-economic backgrounds are underperforming, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state, highlighting an equity gap the school needs to address.

When compared to nearby schools, Whitestone outperforms most neighbors like Jim Plain Elementary, Christine Camacho Elementary, and Patricia Knowles Elementary by a wide margin. Its closest peer is William J Winkley Elementary, just 0.7 miles away, which consistently outperforms Whitestone in nearly every subject and grade level—making Winkley a valuable benchmark for improvement. While the nearby Basis Cedar Park Pri ranks in the 99th percentile, it is a selective charter school and not a fair comparison for Whitestone, which remains a solid, above-average performer within its district.
