Summary

Overton Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Austin Independent School District (Isd) serving 440 students in the 78724 zip code, where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, it shows relative stability compared to nearby schools like Jordan Elementary and Pecan Springs Elementary, which have fallen to the 0th and 1st percentiles respectively. Overton has maintained a position in the 6th-7th percentile range for the last three years, suggesting a slightly more consistent, though still low, level of performance.

There are notable bright spots in specific areas. In the most recent testing year, Overton's 5th-grade Reading proficiency rate was 40.54%, the highest among all nearby AISD schools, including Norman-Sims Elementary (32%) and Jordan (21.74%). The school also shows a unique strength in Spanish-language Math, consistently outperforming the district average in 3rd and 4th grade. Additionally, African American students at Overton ranked in the 12th percentile statewide, a significant improvement from the 3rd percentile the prior year, indicating that specific strategies may be starting to work for this group.

Despite high per-pupil spending ($13,757) and declining class sizes (from 16.3 to 13.7 students per teacher), academic outcomes remain low, pointing to a need for more effective instructional strategies rather than just additional resources. A persistent weakness is Science, where 0% of 5th graders were proficient in recent years—a systemic issue shared with nearby schools. The stark contrast with Winn Montessori, a magnet school serving a less economically disadvantaged population, highlights the profound impact of poverty on test scores. Overton is not just competing with a different school; it is serving a fundamentally different student population with far greater challenges.
