Summary

Blair Elementary in Farmers Branch, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 520 students within the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a high-performing school that has achieved a remarkable turnaround over the past decade. After ranking in the bottom 13th percentile in 2015-2016, Blair has consistently earned 4-star ratings and reached a peak of 5 stars in 2022-2023, now ranking in the 78th percentile statewide. This is especially impressive given that over 84% of its students are economically disadvantaged, a demographic where the school excels—ranking in the 98th percentile for effectiveness with low socio-economic status students. In contrast, nearby schools like Central Elementary (1-star) and McLaughlin Strickland Elementary (2-star) have struggled with similar poverty rates, while Blair is rewriting the odds.

Blair’s strength extends to its support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 92nd percentile, and its superior mathematics performance—5th-grade math proficiency is 65.59%, well above the district average of 48.94% and state average of 47.38%. This contrasts sharply with Stark Elementary (33.64%) and Farmers Branch Elementary (44.57%) in 5th-grade math. Even compared to the high-performing Stem Academy At Memorial Elementary (5-star), which serves only 21% economically disadvantaged students, Blair achieves similar reading results (83.33% vs. 82.86% in 5th grade) while serving a population over four times as disadvantaged, highlighting that its success stems from effective instruction, not affluence.

One area for growth is Blair’s performance with Gifted and Talented students, which dropped from the 95th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 47th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting its strategies for at-risk students may not fully challenge its highest achievers. Overall, Blair is a true "opportunity school" for its community, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and efficient resource use ($12,795 per student). Its dramatic turnaround from a 1-star school to a 5-star school in 2023 demonstrates effective leadership and targeted interventions, making it a standout choice for families in the area.
