Summary:
The Waller Independent School District (Isd) is home to seven elementary schools serving grades PK through 5, with enrollments ranging from 418 to 839 students, and the district itself holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide.
For parents, the standout school is Richard T McReavy Elementary, which is the top performer in the district with an 87th percentile ranking (4 stars) and significantly higher test scores than both district and state averages. In contrast, I T Holleman Elementary is on a concerning downward trend, dropping from the 60th to the 36th percentile over three years. Meanwhile, H T Jones Elementary shows remarkable improvement, jumping 26 percentile points in a single year to reach a 53rd percentile ranking. Bryan Lowe Elementary is the largest school and a strong performer at the 70th percentile (4 stars), while Fields Store Elementary and Evelyn Turlington Elementary both sit at the 65th percentile. Roberts Road Elementary ranks lower at the 44th percentile.
Key takeaways include a strong link between socioeconomic factors and performance, as schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates tend to score higher. A district-wide weakness is evident in 5th Grade Mathematics, where most schools fall below the state average, and 5th Grade Science scores are uniformly low across the district, with only McReavy Elementary slightly exceeding the state average. Additionally, several schools show inconsistent performance across grade levels, suggesting potential issues with curriculum alignment or cohort-specific challenges.
