Summary

Eastridge Elementary in Amarillo, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 504 students in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a remarkable success story of sustained improvement in a community where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Once ranked in the bottom 13-24% of Texas elementary schools, Eastridge has transformed into a stable, 3-star institution now ranking in the 61st percentile statewide, making it the highest-ranked school among its immediate neighbors like Humphrey's Highland Elementary, Rogers Elementary, and Emerson Elementary, most of which rank in the bottom 20-40% of the state.

Eastridge truly shines in its support for specific student groups and in science achievement. The school ranks in the 79th percentile statewide for both low-income students and English Language Learners, and it was ranked #1 in Texas for its Gifted and Talented program in the 2024-2025 school year. In 5th-grade science, nearly 49% of Eastridge students were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 31% and the state average of 30%, while every nearby school scored below the district average, with many in the single digits. The school also boasts a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio and spends about $11,767 per student, which is competitive with local peers.

However, the data reveals some areas for growth. While 4th-grade math scores are a standout strength—with 69% proficient compared to the district's 47%—this advantage doesn't carry into 5th grade, where scores drop to near district averages. Additionally, a significant gender gap has emerged, with female students ranking in the 75th percentile and male students in the 44th percentile. For context, nearby Sunrise Elementary achieves even higher scores but with a smaller enrollment, lower student-teacher ratio, and higher per-student spending, suggesting that Eastridge's impressive results come from a more resource-efficient model.

Open Quote Our daughter never brought home books to read for her grade level, and our son needed speech therapy and all they could say is wait until his 2 front teeth grow in. Why not just do what the kids need and what would be best for them. I was very disappointed last year. Close Quote
