Summary

Adams Elementary in Cleburne, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 379 students within the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional Gifted & Talented (G/T) program, which ranks in the 98th percentile statewide—a remarkable strength that nearby schools like Gerard Elementary cannot match. This "two-schools-in-one" dynamic means that while the school's overall performance is average (34th percentile), its advanced learners receive an elite education, making it a unique choice for families with high-achieving students.

The school has also shown a dramatic turnaround for English Language Learners (ELL), jumping from the 1st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting recent program changes are working well. Overall, Adams Elementary has rebounded strongly from a 0-star rating in 2024-2025 to a 2-star rating, gaining over 1,000 places in state rankings. However, this recovery is uneven: White students and Special Education students continue to struggle (both at the 12th percentile), while the school's core subject scores in 4th Grade Reading (43.1% proficient) and Math (34.48% proficient) lag behind district peers like Gerard Elementary (69.88% and 59.04% respectively) and Marti Elementary (57.75% and 60.56%).

Notably, Adams Elementary spends $10,122 per student with a 13.5 student-teacher ratio—similar to higher-performing schools like Coleman Elementary ($9,114, ratio 14.0), indicating that resource allocation isn't the issue. The school serves a predominantly low-income population (66.75% free/reduced lunch), which is a higher rate than Gerard Elementary (50.42%), but its G/T program proves that targeted instruction can yield exceptional results. For parents, Adams Elementary offers a promising environment for advanced learners and ELL students, but families should be aware that general education and support for other subgroups are still areas of growth.
