Summary

Wooten Elementary is a small, PK-5 public school in the Austin Independent School District (Isd) serving 272 students in a densely populated area of north-central Austin, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting very high economic need.

Wooten’s academic performance has been volatile, with its state ranking fluctuating from the 65th percentile in 2016 to the 9th percentile in 2021 and 2024, before a slight rebound to the 19th percentile in 2025. This places it in stark contrast to nearby schools like Brentwood Elementary (91st percentile) and Ridgetop Elementary (96th percentile), which are just over a mile away but serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students. Wooten is part of a cluster of high-poverty schools in the area—including Andrews Elementary, Pickle Elementary, Brown Elementary, and Hart Elementary—that all rank in the bottom 25% of the state, though Wooten outperforms Pickle, which ranks in the 1st percentile. Notably, Wooten spends more per student ($13,512) than Brentwood ($11,475) or Ridgetop ($10,668), yet this higher spending has not translated into higher test scores, suggesting that the challenges of concentrated poverty require more than just funding.

A historical bright spot emerged in 2018-2019, when Wooten ranked in the 87th percentile for serving "At Risk" students, indicating a once-effective strategy that has since faded. More recently, a significant gender gap has appeared, with male students ranking in the 36th percentile and female students in the 10th percentile. On a positive note, Wooten’s Spanish STAAR scores have sometimes outperformed district averages, suggesting the bilingual program may be a relative strength. Understanding what worked for at-risk students in 2019 and addressing the gender gap could be key to the school’s turnaround.
