Summary

Archer City Elementary is a small, rural PK-6 school in Archer City, TX, serving 278 students as the sole elementary school within the highly-rated Archer City Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, the school offers a more intimate learning environment than the state average, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for four of the last five years, currently placing in the 94th percentile among all Texas elementary schools.

Archer City Elementary consistently outperforms the state average and most nearby schools by wide margins. For example, 6th-grade Reading proficiency reached 94.44% compared to the state's 53.52%, and 3rd-grade Math proficiency soared to 90.32% versus the state's 44.33%. This performance is on par with the region's other high-performing school, Windthorst Elementary, and far exceeds schools in the larger Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd), such as Milam Elementary, Cunningham School, Fowler Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary, which generally rank in the bottom half of the state. The school also shows a strong upward trajectory, rebounding from a dip to the 87th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 94th percentile in the most recent year.

One of the most compelling findings is the school's exceptional performance for all student subgroups, ranking in the 99th percentile for Gifted and Talented Students, 97th percentile for Special Education Students, and 95th percentile for Low Socio-Economic Status Students. This demonstrates a high level of equity and effectiveness, especially given that roughly 44% of students are economically disadvantaged. In contrast, Holliday Elementary, which has a lower rate of economic disadvantage, does not show the same level of subgroup performance. Additionally, a remarkable turnaround in 3rd-grade Math saw proficiency jump from 34.15% in 2023-2024 to 90.32% in the most recent year, pointing to highly effective instructional changes.
