Summary

Coleman Elementary in Cleburne, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 434 students within the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently emerged as one of the district's most improved schools, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year after a dramatic turnaround from a 23rd percentile ranking just a few years prior.

This school stands out for its exceptional recent growth, which is the strongest in the district. While nearby schools like Marti Elementary, Santa Fe Elementary, Irving Elementary, and Adams Elementary have seen stagnant or declining performance, Coleman has surged by 41 percentile points. A key driver of this success is the remarkable improvement among male students, who now rank in the 80th percentile—a stark contrast to the school's female students. Additionally, Coleman shows a unique strength in serving both Special Education students (71st percentile) and Gifted and Talented students (74th percentile), suggesting that targeted, differentiated instruction is benefiting a wide range of learners. This is particularly noteworthy because the school achieves these results with the lowest spending per student in the district ($9,114), indicating high efficiency and effective resource allocation.

Despite its overall success, there are important nuances for parents to consider. The school's performance dipped significantly in the 2024-2025 school year before rebounding, which may have been a transitional period. Furthermore, the most recent data for "At Risk" and English Language Learner students is from 2021-2022, when the school ranked in the 7th percentile for both groups—a critical area to watch as updated information becomes available. While Gerard Elementary remains the top-ranked school in the district (82nd percentile) with a lower poverty rate, Coleman's strong results with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (62.9%) make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is clearly on an upward trajectory.
