Summary
Bullard Elementary in Bullard, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 423 students in 3rd and 4th grade within the top-rated Bullard Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 91st percentile statewide. The school consistently outperforms state averages by a wide margin, with 4th-grade proficiency rates of 73.42% in Reading and 75.34% in Math, compared to state averages of 53.04% and 49.28%, respectively. This strong academic performance is supported by a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, allowing for focused instruction.
One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional support for Special Education students, who have ranked in the 88th, 90th, and 94th percentiles statewide over the last three years. This consistent high performance for this subgroup is a key differentiator. Additionally, Bullard Elementary shows a notable "4th Grade Leap" in Math, with scores averaging 71.7% in 4th grade compared to 55.8% in 3rd grade over the past four years, suggesting highly effective math instruction or intervention programs. The school also achieves its results with efficient resource use, spending $9,315 per student, which is lower than some nearby schools like Stanton-Smith Elementary ($9,983) while outperforming many peers in the Tyler Independent School District (Isd), such as Rice Elementary, where 4th-grade proficiency rates were 47.66% in Reading and 38.89% in Math.
While Bullard Elementary excels in most areas, it faces a challenge with its Multi-racial student population, which ranked in the 24th percentile in the most recent year, a significant drop from the previous year. This warrants attention to ensure all students receive equal support. The school is part of a unique grade-segmented system within the district, with Bullard Pri serving 1st and 2nd graders and Bullard Early Childhood serving PK and K, allowing teachers to specialize and build a strong foundation for student success.
