Summary

Larson Elementary in Grand Prairie, TX, is a PK-6 school serving 443 students as part of the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty community.

Despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 and per-student spending over $10,000, Larson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with STAAR test scores significantly below district and state averages. The school faces a severe crisis in mathematics, with only 13.33% of 5th graders proficient in math in 2025-2026, compared to 47.38% statewide. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary (40.91% proficient) and Stephen F Austin Environmental Science Academy (51.22% proficient) in the Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd), which achieve much better results with similar demographics. However, there is a bright spot: 6th-grade reading proficiency (53.33%) nearly matches the state average (53.52%), suggesting a potential area of instructional strength.

The school is failing its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 1st percentile for male students and the 2nd percentile for African American students and low socio-economic status students. Yet, there is a glimmer of hope: Hispanic students have shown notable improvement, jumping from the 7th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026. This positive trend, along with the 6th-grade reading success, offers potential starting points for a turnaround strategy. The data strongly suggests that the school's struggles are not due to a lack of funding or resources, but rather the effectiveness of how those resources are deployed, especially in mathematics instruction.
