Summary

Imogene Gideon Elementary is a K-4 school in Arlington, TX, serving 340 students as part of the Mansfield Independent School District (Isd), a highly-rated district, though the school itself has experienced a steep and concerning decline in recent years.

Once a strong performer, Imogene Gideon has dropped from the 80th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 18th percentile in the current school year, earning a 1-star rating. This decline is the most dramatic among nearby schools. For example, Louise Cabaniss Academy and Thelma Jones Elementary have remained consistently in higher percentiles. The most glaring weakness is in 3rd Grade Mathematics, where only 21.62% of students are proficient—less than half the district average. This is the lowest 3rd-grade math score among all nearby schools, including those in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd). Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($11,660) than its district peers, yet achieves lower results, suggesting a potential issue with resource allocation or instructional effectiveness. On a positive note, the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, smaller than most nearby schools.

A particularly telling comparison is with Pearcy Stem Academy, an Arlington ISD school just 0.64 miles away. Despite serving a similar percentage of low-income students, Pearcy is ranked in the 76th percentile and outperforms Imogene Gideon in every subject and grade level. This proves the challenges are not insurmountable. The school has shown strength with English Language Learner students, ranking in the 89th percentile in 2023-2024, but has struggled significantly with other groups. The data indicates a broad collapse across subjects, with 3rd Grade Reading proficiency dropping from 42.65% to 36.49% and 3rd Grade Math plummeting from 42.65% to 21.62% in just one year. This rapid acceleration of decline requires immediate intervention.
