Summary:
The Santa Fe Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to three elementary schools—Dan J Kubacak Elementary, William F Barnett Elementary, and Roy J Wollam Elementary—serving grades PK through 5 with a combined enrollment of 1,988 students. The district itself is a strong performer, ranking in the top 27% of Texas districts (73rd percentile).
Roy J Wollam Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, significantly ahead of Dan J Kubacak Elementary (68th percentile) and William F Barnett Elementary (70th percentile). Wollam also shows a strong upward trend, improving from the 74th to the 81st percentile over three years, while Kubacak and Barnett have declined. Notably, Wollam has the most favorable student-teacher ratio (13.3:1) and the highest per-student spending ($11,511), compared to Kubacak (15.6:1, $10,441) and Barnett (15.2:1, $9,887). This suggests a potential link between resource allocation and academic outcomes.
In the most recent testing, Roy J Wollam Elementary led in 5th Grade Science proficiency at 51.89%, well above the state average of 29.57% and outpacing Kubacak (42.11%) and Barnett (38.26%). Reading scores remain a consistent strength across all three schools, though math performance shows notable year-over-year volatility. For example, Kubacak's 4th Grade Math proficiency jumped from 44.76% to 63.33% in one year, while Barnett's 3rd Grade Math dropped from 59.13% to 49.52%. The percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch is similar across schools, ranging from 52.05% at Kubacak to 56.09% at Barnett.
