Summary

Westlawn Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Texarkana Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with 342 students. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Westlawn Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the Texarkana ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests in reading, math, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.69% of 3rd graders at Westlawn were proficient or better in STAAR reading, compared to 34.58% for Texarkana ISD and 52.02% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 94.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Texarkana ISD.

While the low student-teacher ratio at Westlawn Elementary could be an asset if the school is able to effectively leverage this resource, the consistently low academic performance suggests that the school may need to implement more comprehensive, evidence-based interventions to address the underlying issues. Nearby schools in the Texarkana ISD, such as Wake Village Elementary and Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary, demonstrate that it is possible for schools in the same district to achieve significantly higher academic performance, which suggests that there may be opportunities for Westlawn Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.
