Summary

I T Holleman Elementary in Waller, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 753 students within the Waller Independent School District (Isd), where about 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a predominantly low socio-economic community.

The school’s most critical challenge is a significant weakness in early literacy: only 37.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading in the latest data, which is far below the state average of 51% and dramatically lower than every other Waller ISD elementary school, such as Fields Store Elementary and Evelyn Turlington Elementary, which both score in the 54-64% range. This reading struggle creates a unique "two-track" profile: while reading lags, the school shows surprising strength in 4th Grade Math, where 55.7% of students are proficient—outperforming the district (54.5%) and the state (49.3%). Overall, Holleman’s state ranking has dropped sharply from the 60th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 36th percentile (2 stars) for 2025-2026, the steepest decline among its Waller ISD peers, while Bryan Lowe Elementary has improved to a 4-star, 70th percentile ranking.

Despite spending $10,592 per student—higher than nearby high-performing schools like Swenke Elementary ($8,928) in Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd)—Holleman’s outcomes are much lower, highlighting the powerful impact of poverty on academic performance. However, there are bright spots: the Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 56th percentile statewide, and the consistent success in 4th Grade Math suggests effective instruction that could be replicated in other subjects. For parents, this school offers a mixed picture—strong math instruction and targeted support for high achievers, but urgent attention is needed to improve early reading and address recent declines in overall performance.
