Summary

Gene M Reed Elementary is a public elementary school located in Allen, Texas, serving 546 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Allen Independent School District, which is ranked 71 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Gene M Reed Elementary has a strong special education program and a gifted and talented program, the school's overall academic performance has declined in recent years. Its statewide ranking has dropped from 637th out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 2,352nd out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.78% of 3rd-grade students at Gene M Reed Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 69.71% for the Allen ISD and 52.02% for the state of Texas.

Interestingly, Gene M Reed Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students generally performing better than Hispanic and White students. The school also serves a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch increasing from 32.42% in 2021-2022 to 39.93% in 2023-2024. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's overall academic challenges, which are also evident when compared to nearby schools within the Allen ISD, such as Jenny Preston Elementary, Bolin Elementary, and James and Margie Marion Elementary, which consistently outperform Gene M Reed Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings.

Wednesday, September 14, 2016

My son is a new kindergartener here. I was unprepared at how prepared they are here in Allen ISD. My niece is a Junior at Allen HS and it's better run than the university I attended.... no joke. They are completely dialed in as far as organization, quality of education, technology, student culture, parent involvement....it was frankly a little overwhelming to have all the opportunities to get involved in our kids' educations.
Definitely a very, very good problem to have. Close Quote
