Summary

Chapel Hill Elementary is a PK-5 campus in Mount Pleasant, TX, serving 440 students as part of the Chapel Hill Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 78th percentile statewide. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1 and per-student spending around $10,700, which is in line with regional averages. One of the most notable features of Chapel Hill is its relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 49.77%, which is significantly lower than nearly all nearby schools—for example, Annie Sims Elementary and E C Brice Elementary in Mount Pleasant ISD have rates between 70% and 86%, and Pewitt Elementary is at 69.4%.

Academically, Chapel Hill has shown strong early literacy, with 71.23% of 3rd graders proficient in reading in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding the state average of 51.08% and outperforming most nearby schools. However, the school struggles significantly in 5th Grade Science, where only 15.19% of students were proficient—roughly half the state average and the lowest among comparable schools like Pewitt (53.49%) and Harts Bluff Elementary (33.78%). The school’s overall ranking has been volatile, dropping from a high of the 87th percentile in 2021-2022 to a low of the 44th percentile in 2024-2025, before recovering to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026. This recovery is driven by improvements in 3rd Grade Reading and 4th Grade Math, but persistent weaknesses in upper elementary grades remain a concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Chapel Hill’s economic advantage does not always translate into superior outcomes. For instance, Pewitt Elementary, which serves a higher-poverty population, outperforms Chapel Hill in nearly every metric, including 5th Grade Reading (79.66% vs. Chapel Hill’s data) and Science (53.49% vs. 15.19%). Similarly, Annie Sims Elementary and E.C. Brice Elementary in Mount Pleasant ISD achieve comparable or better overall rankings despite facing greater economic challenges. The school has historically been effective with "At Risk" students but has struggled to sustain that success for English Language Learners and low socio-economic status students, who consistently rank in the 1st and 2nd star categories. This suggests that while Chapel Hill builds a strong foundation in early grades, it faces challenges in maintaining academic growth through 5th grade.
