Summary

Argyle West is a high-performing public elementary school in Argyle, TX, serving 643 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the top-ranked Argyle Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years and consistently ranks in the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools, most recently placing 124th out of 4,627 schools statewide (97th percentile). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, Argyle West provides a supportive learning environment where students thrive academically.

What truly sets Argyle West apart is its exceptional performance with specific student groups. The school ranks 13th out of 1,643 schools in Texas for supporting English Language Learners (99th percentile), a remarkable achievement that far surpasses nearby schools like Justin Elementary (56th percentile) and Ponder Elementary (1-star rating). Additionally, Argyle West ranks 23rd out of 3,705 schools for supporting its low-socioeconomic status students (99th percentile), demonstrating a strong commitment to closing achievement gaps. In 4th-grade mathematics, the school achieved an 85.82% proficiency rate—the highest among all nearby schools—outperforming the district average by over 11 points and the state average by over 36 points. This represents a dramatic improvement from the previous year, suggesting effective curriculum changes or targeted interventions.

While Argyle West excels in reading and math, its science scores, though well above the state average, have shown some inconsistency. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency of 68.81% in 2024-2025 was strong but slightly lower than its own reading and math scores. Compared to other schools in the district, Argyle West stands out as a "pocket of excellence." For instance, Hilltop Elementary (2.89 miles away) ranks lower overall (86th percentile) and has significantly lower test scores in math and science. Even within the same district, Argyle South Elementary is excellent but doesn't match Argyle West's exceptional results with English Language Learners and low-SES students. This makes Argyle West a standout choice for families seeking a school that delivers both high overall achievement and equitable support for all learners.
