Summary

Lee Elementary is a high-performing K-6 public school in Austin's Hyde Park neighborhood, serving 428 students as part of the Austin Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently ranks among the top in Texas, currently placing in the 93rd percentile statewide, and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in six of the last ten years. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1, Lee provides an environment where students receive strong individualized support, and its academic performance regularly outpaces both the district and state averages.

What truly sets Lee apart from nearby schools like Casis Elementary and Maplewood Elementary is its exceptional support for all student groups. Lee ranks in the 95th percentile for both its Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, a remarkable achievement that many surrounding schools do not even report data for. The school also excels in mathematics, with 4th-grade math proficiency reaching 72.46%—21 points higher than the district average and 23 points higher than the state average. This "math advantage" is consistent across all grades, and Lee's male students perform particularly well, ranking in the 95th percentile compared to female students at 91st percentile.

Lee's success is not driven by excessive spending; its per-student funding of $11,257 is moderate compared to lower-performing neighbors like Campbell Elementary, which spends $16,740 per student. The school has shown remarkable resilience, rebounding from a slight dip in 2023-2024 to achieve its highest ranking in recent years. While nearby Helping Hand, a tiny charter school just 0.82 miles away, ranks at the very bottom of the state, Lee's consistent top-tier performance demonstrates the power of effective resource allocation, strong teaching, and a supportive community within the Austin Independent School District (Isd).
