Summary:
The three elementary schools in the Springtown Independent School District (Isd) serve grades PK through 4 and show a mix of strengths and challenges, with the district itself earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 56th percentile statewide.
Springtown Elementary is the highest-ranked school for the 2025-2026 year, improving from the 48th to the 63rd percentile, though its 4th-grade math proficiency dropped significantly from 53.72% to 41.18%. Goshen Creek Elementary stands out as a math powerhouse, with 4th-grade math scores (57.32%) outperforming the state average by over 8 points, and it achieves this with the lowest per-student spending ($9,829) and highest student-teacher ratio (16.4:1). Springtown Reno Elementary is the turnaround story, jumping 14 percentile points to the 59th percentile despite having the highest rate of economic disadvantage (63.61%) and the highest per-student spending ($11,818).
A key district-wide finding is that all three schools outperformed the state average in 4th-grade math for 2025-2026, yet all three fell below the state average in 3rd-grade reading, suggesting a systemic strength in math instruction and a weakness in early literacy. The smaller enrollment at Springtown Reno (382 students) leads to more volatile year-over-year ranking swings compared to the larger, more stable schools. While Goshen Creek operates efficiently with fewer resources, Springtown Elementary's declining test scores in 4th grade warrant attention, even as its overall rank improves.
