Summary

Hewitt Elementary is a PK-5 school in Hewitt, TX, serving 511 students as part of the highly-regarded Midway Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. While the school’s overall state rank has fluctuated over the years—currently sitting at the 68th percentile—it stands out for its effectiveness given that nearly 60% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among its district peers. This economic diversity is a key factor when comparing Hewitt to nearby schools like Park Hill Elementary or Woodway Elementary, which have much lower poverty rates and higher raw test scores.

What makes Hewitt Elementary particularly interesting is its "value-add" story: despite serving a more economically challenged population, it often outperforms expectations. For example, in the most recent school year, Hewitt outperformed Castleman Creek Elementary—its closest peer in terms of economic disadvantage—in every grade and subject tested. It also matched or exceeded Chapel Park Elementary in 4th and 5th-grade reading and math, despite having a 50% higher poverty rate. This suggests the school is doing an excellent job of closing achievement gaps. Additionally, Hewitt excels with specific student groups, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for its Gifted and Talented program and consistently earning high marks for its English Language Learners.

However, there are areas of concern. The school has seen a sharp decline in performance for its African American students, dropping to the 22nd percentile, and it struggles with Special Education and Multi-racial student groups. Overall, Hewitt Elementary is a school that punches above its weight, providing a strong education relative to the challenges it faces, but it needs to address these inconsistencies to ensure all students thrive. In contrast, nearby schools from the Waco Independent School District (Isd), such as Mountainview Elementary, face even higher poverty rates and rank in the bottom 10% of the state, highlighting the critical role of the Midway ISD’s overall effectiveness.
