Summary

St Elmo Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 299 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Austin Independent School District, which is ranked 578 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

St Elmo Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in reading, math, and science were significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 622 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 3,486 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other elementary schools in Texas.

When compared to other elementary schools in the area, such as KIPP Austin Obras and Harmony School Of Innovation - Austin, St Elmo Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores and school rankings. This highlights the need for the school to learn from the strategies and practices of higher-performing schools in the area to improve its own academic outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and collaboration with the broader community to support student success.
