Summary

Baranoff Elementary is a large PK-5 school in the Austin Independent School District (Isd), serving 810 students in a relatively affluent area of Austin, TX, where it has historically ranked in the top 15-20% of all Texas elementary schools. While its most recent data shows a slight dip to the 86th percentile, it remains a strong, reliable performer, significantly outpacing both district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade level. A standout feature is its exceptional performance with low-income students, ranking in the 83rd percentile for serving this group, which is a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools.

Baranoff occupies a unique "middle-high" ground in a diverse educational landscape. It is surrounded by some of the highest-performing schools in the state, like Bear Creek Elementary and Mills Elementary, which consistently rank in the 93rd-99th percentile, and some of the lowest-performing in the district, such as Menchaca Elementary, which ranks in the 39th percentile. This contrast is stark: Menchaca is only 1.3 miles away but has a 44% poverty rate and significantly lower test scores, highlighting how school performance can vary dramatically within the same district. Baranoff achieves its high results with a relatively moderate budget, suggesting efficient resource allocation.

Interesting patterns emerge in the data, including a "Baranoff Bump" in 5th grade, where students consistently outperform 3rd and 4th graders in both Reading and Math, indicating an effective upper-grade instructional program. The school also shows a particular strength with male students, who rank in the 89th percentile statewide, higher than female students. However, a potential area for growth is its Gifted and Talented program, which has ranked in the 55th percentile for the last three years, suggesting that while the school excels at bringing all students to a high level, it may not provide the same level of enrichment for its highest-achieving students compared to other top schools.
