Texas School Of The Arts

Texas School Of The Arts is a single elementary school in Edgecliff Village, TX, serving 337 students in grades K-5 as its own independent school district.

Texas School Of The Arts presents a mixed picture for parents. The school's standout strength is Reading, where it consistently outperforms the state average across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th) in the most recent school year. However, this bright spot is overshadowed by a severe and persistent weakness in Mathematics, particularly in the lower grades. In 3rd grade, only 24.49% of students were proficient in Math, nearly 20 percentage points behind the state average. Science is also a critical concern, with the only available data point showing just 16.67% of 5th graders proficient. The school's overall state ranking has declined sharply from the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, indicating that the struggles in STEM subjects are dragging down its overall performance. The student-teacher ratio of 12.9 is favorable, suggesting smaller class sizes, and spending per student is $10,393.

The most important takeaway for parents is that Texas School Of The Arts is a school with a clear identity crisis. It excels in literacy instruction but is struggling profoundly in math and likely science. The declining ranking suggests that these weaknesses are systemic and not improving. While the school's reading program is a clear asset, parents should be aware that their child may need significant additional support in mathematics and science to meet state standards. The missing free/reduced lunch data is a notable gap that prevents a full understanding of the student body's challenges.
