Summary:
There is one elementary school, Magnolia Montessori For All, located in Austin, TX, serving grades PK through 6 within the Montessori For All district.
Magnolia Montessori For All is a school on a strong upward trajectory, making it a standout for its rapid academic improvement. In just two years, the school jumped from the 37th percentile (2 stars) in the 2023-2024 school year to the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, an impressive 18-percentile-point gain. Reading is a clear strength, with 5th graders achieving a 70.83% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, significantly outpacing the state average. However, math remains a persistent challenge, as the school fell below the state average in every grade level for math in 2025-2026. An interesting anomaly is the inclusion of 7th-grade scores, despite the school only serving up to 6th grade, which showed a dramatic drop in proficiency—likely due to students taking advanced coursework tested at a higher standard.
With 470 students, a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, and 41.49% of students economically disadvantaged, the school spends $9,660 per student. This resource allocation appears effective, particularly in literacy, where the school consistently outperforms the state in reading for grades 4, 5, and 6. The key takeaway for parents is that Magnolia Montessori For All is a school that has demonstrated significant recent growth and excels in reading instruction, but it has a clear opportunity to improve its math outcomes to match its literacy success.
