Summary

Birdville Elementary in Haltom City, TX, is a PK-5 campus serving 479 students within the Birdville Independent School District (Isd), a district rated above average, though the school itself has faced challenges with a recent state percentile rank of 24th.

Birdville Elementary shows a notable bright spot in 5th-grade reading, where 60% of students were proficient in the latest testing year, matching the district average and exceeding the state average. However, the school struggles significantly with early-grade math, with only about 21% of 3rd graders and 30% of 4th graders proficient, well below district and state averages. This pattern persists despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 and per-student spending ($11,056) that is higher than some higher-performing peers like David E Smith Elementary ($10,452) and West Birdville Elementary ($9,270). The school also serves a high-poverty population, with about 79% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a factor that contrasts sharply with nearby Snow Heights Elementary, which has a much lower rate (39%) and consistently ranks in the 79th percentile statewide.

A key concern is the dramatic volatility in performance for specific student groups. For instance, Birdville ranked in the 95th percentile for serving Special Education students in 2023-2024 but dropped to the 13th percentile just two years later. Similarly, performance for male students fell from the 51st to the 16th percentile in the same period. The school also offers a Spanish testing track, where reading scores are competitive with district averages, but Spanish math scores are very low—only 9% of 4th graders were proficient. These trends suggest that while the school has effective strategies for upper-grade reading, it faces systemic challenges in math instruction and maintaining consistent support for all student subgroups.
