Summary

Mound Elementary in Burleson, TX, is a mid-sized public school serving 397 students in grades PK-5 within the Burleson Independent School District (Isd), known for its consistent academic performance and a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, which is better than most nearby schools like Jack Taylor Elementary and Frazier Elementary.

What truly sets Mound apart is its exceptional upper elementary program, especially in 5th grade. In the most recent school year, Mound’s 5th graders achieved a 75.68% proficiency rate in Math—28.3 percentage points higher than the state average and 14.5 points higher than the district average. Their 5th-grade Science scores are equally impressive, with a 58.33% proficiency rate that nearly doubles the state average and far exceeds the next best Burleson ISD school, Academy At Nola Dunn. This "Mound Effect" suggests a focused, effective instructional program in the upper grades. Additionally, the school has shown remarkable improvement in supporting Special Education students, who now rank in the 80th percentile statewide—a dramatic turnaround from just two years prior. This makes Mound a standout choice for inclusive education within the district.

Mound is a reliable, stable performer, with its state ranking fluctuating only between the 73rd and 81st percentile over the last five years—unlike Ann Brock Elementary At Oak Grove, which saw a sharp drop in rankings. While the school excels overall, there is a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 86th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 65th percentile, suggesting an opportunity to better tailor instruction for boys. With a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 52%, Mound achieves strong results with a diverse student body, proving it is not simply coasting on demographics. For parents seeking a consistent, high-performing school with small class sizes and standout science and math programs, Mound Elementary is a top contender.
