Summary

Judith L Harlow Elementary in Anna, TX, is a PK-5 campus serving 731 students within the Anna Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas.

After years of solid, mid-tier performance, Harlow experienced a significant drop in its most recent state ranking, falling to a 2-star rating and the 36th percentile statewide. This decline is widespread, affecting nearly every student group and subject, with mathematics being a particular challenge. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency (35%) is 14 points below the state average. However, the school has a notable strength: it ranks in the 82nd percentile for supporting its English Language Learner students, earning a 4-star rating for that subgroup. This success stands in stark contrast to the school's struggle with its Low Socio-Economic Status students, who rank in the 20th percentile. The school's performance also looks different when compared to its neighbors. While Harlow generally outperforms its own district averages, it trails significantly behind schools in the high-performing Melissa Independent School District (Isd). For instance, nearby Harry McKillop Elementary posted 5th-grade reading proficiency of 87%, a 32-point gap over Harlow's 55%.

Harlow is a school at a crossroads. Its ability to successfully serve English Language Learners is a clear asset to build upon, but this is overshadowed by a systemic decline in other areas, especially math and support for students from low-income backgrounds. The school must not only reverse its own recent downturn but also work to close a widening achievement gap with the high-performing schools in its immediate vicinity. The inconsistency in its Gifted and Talented program, which has fluctuated from the 85th to the 53rd percentile in recent years, suggests a need for more stable resources and strategies to ensure all students can thrive.
