Summary

Argyle South Elementary in Flower Mound, TX, is a high-performing PK-5 school serving 783 students as part of the top-ranked Argyle Independent School District (Isd), which is in the top 2% of districts statewide. This school consistently earns 5-star ratings and ranks in the top 5% of all Texas elementary schools, with a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.5:1.

What truly sets Argyle South apart is its remarkable academic growth in upper elementary grades. While many nearby schools see proficiency decline from 3rd to 5th grade—for instance, Hilltop Elementary drops from 71.79% to 63.78% in reading—Argyle South accelerates, jumping from 69.11% to 86.09% in reading and from 65.85% to 84.48% in math over the same period. This suggests a particularly effective instructional model for older students. The school also excels in science, with 63.08% of 5th graders proficient compared to the state average of just 29.57%. When compared to nearby Samuel Beck Elementary in Trophy Club (90th percentile), Argyle South's 3rd-grade math proficiency (65.85%) significantly outpaces Beck's 50%.

Argyle South shows outstanding support for all students, ranking 8th out of 1,905 schools statewide for African American students in 2024-2025, demonstrating exceptional effectiveness in closing opportunity gaps. The school's multi-racial students also thrive, ranking in the 98th percentile. While the school's overall state rank saw a minor dip from the 97th to 95th percentile in 2025-2026—driven by a drop in 3rd-grade scores that may reflect a cohort effect—it remains a 5-star institution. The school's performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, while above state average, presents an opportunity for growth, ranking in the 71st percentile. As the top-ranked school in the elite Argyle ISD, consistently outperforming peers like Argyle West (97th percentile) and Jane Ruestmann Elementary (94th percentile), Argyle South offers a robust, academically intense environment with a strong STEM curriculum.
