Summary

Weatherford Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving 440 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Plano Independent School District, which is ranked 230 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Weatherford Elementary has struggled compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, its proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science were significantly lower than the Plano ISD and Texas state averages. The school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from the top 25% in 2015-2016 to the bottom 25% in 2024-2025. Weatherford Elementary's performance is particularly weak in Math, with proficiency rates around 20-25% compared to the district's 55-65% and the state's 45-50%.

The school also has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's African American students outperformed the Hispanic and White students in both Reading and Math. However, the school's English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds consistently perform below their peers. When compared to nearby schools within the Plano ISD, such as Hightower Elementary, Hughston Elementary, and Saigling Elementary, Weatherford Elementary generally underperforms. The nearby Harmony Science Academy, a public charter school, also outperforms Weatherford Elementary in most academic areas.

Excellent school! Caring staff! Efficient office staffers who are organized, friendly and helpful to all. Principal Arron Moeller knows every child's name within a short amount of time and uses it in a sincerely friendly way. Nurse Ray is very knowledgeable and watches out for each of "her" students. Every teacher with whom I have come in contact goes the extra mile to help his/her student. The teachers, paraprofessionals, coaches and administrators all collaborate for the benefit of each child. My children all went to Weatherford and I think it has well prepared them for each step along their educational journey. I'm an educator as well and I can testify that Weatherford is an exceptionally outstanding school! Close Quote
