Summary

Frances And Jeannette Lee Elementary is a PK-4 school in the Caddo Mills Independent School District (Isd), serving 632 students in a community where about 30% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has a strong history of high performance.

This school stands out for its exceptional support for specific groups of students. It ranks in the 93rd to 95th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with Special Education students, a 5-star rating that is a stark contrast to nearby schools, which do not have published data for this group. In the most recent year, it also earned a 5-star rating for its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 98th percentile. Third-grade reading proficiency is a clear strength, with 66.13% of students proficient, well above the state average of 51.08% and higher than all nearby schools, including its district peer Kathryn Griffis Elementary (57.47%). However, there is a notable challenge: 4th-grade reading proficiency has dropped dramatically from 68.22% in 2023-2024 to 40.26% in 2025-2026, now significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's effectiveness with students from low socio-economic status backgrounds dropped from the 85th percentile to the 31st percentile in the most recent year, a red flag that warrants attention.

Compared to nearby districts, Lee Elementary operates in a different context. Schools in the Greenville Independent School District (Isd) (like Carver Elementary, Lamar Elementary, and Bowie Elementary) are among the lowest-performing in the state, with high poverty rates and state rankings in the bottom 10-35%. In contrast, Lee Elementary has a low poverty rate and a long track record of top-tier performance, consistently earning 4-star ratings from Schooldigger for the past seven years. Its district peer, Kathryn Griffis Elementary, is also strong, ranking in the 83rd percentile, but Lee Elementary excels in specific subgroups where Griffis does not have published data. The recent declines in 4th-grade reading and low-SES student performance are areas to monitor closely, but the school's overall foundation remains strong.
