Summary:
The The Varnett Public School district in Texas operates three elementary schools: Varnett Charter School, The Varnett School - Northeast, and The Varnett School - East. These schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 98.1% to 99.63%.
Among the three schools, The Varnett School - Northeast stands out as the top performer, with the highest STAAR reading and math proficiency rates across multiple grade levels compared to the other Varnett schools and the state average. For instance, in 2024-2025, 67.74% of 8th graders at The Varnett School - Northeast were proficient in reading, significantly higher than the district's 49.38% and the state's 56.39%. The school also had strong performance in 8th grade science, with 51.61% proficiency compared to 28.4% for the district and 46.25% statewide.
While not the top performer, The Varnett School - East stands out for having the highest 5th grade science proficiency rates among the Varnett schools, at 19.23% compared to 8.91% for the district. The school also had relatively strong 4th and 5th grade reading proficiency rates compared to the other Varnett schools. However, the Varnett schools consistently underperform the state average on STAAR assessments across reading, math, science, and social studies, indicating a need for the district to address these performance gaps.
