Summary:
The Weatherford Independent School District (Isd) is home to seven elementary schools serving grades PK through 5, with a total enrollment of 3,747 students across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Academic performance varies widely across the district. Martin Elementary stands out as the top performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide, with significantly higher test scores than both the district and state averages. Austin Elementary is also a strong and consistent 4-star school, particularly excelling in Reading. At the other end of the spectrum, Crockett Elementary is the lowest-performing school with a 1-star rating, where only 13.89% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 47.38%. Ikard Elementary and Wright Elementary are notable for offering bilingual programs, with Ikard showing relative strength in Spanish-language STAAR tests despite overall challenges.
A key takeaway is that higher spending and smaller class sizes do not guarantee better results. Seguin Elementary spends the most per student ($12,865) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.0), yet it is one of the lower-performing schools. Conversely, Martin Elementary, the top performer, has below-average spending. Math proficiency is a district-wide weakness, with scores consistently below state averages. Additionally, performance can be volatile, as Curtis Elementary dropped from a 3-star to a 2-star rating recently, while Seguin improved from 2-star to 3-star.
