Summary

Arlon R Seay Elementary is a PK-5 school in Spring Branch, TX, serving 623 students as part of the highly-ranked Comal Independent School District (Isd), which is rated in the top 12% of Texas districts.

Arlon R Seay is a solid, consistent performer with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for four consecutive years, but it stands out as the lowest-ranked school among its six immediate Comal ISD peers. Nearby schools like Bill Brown Elementary (98th percentile) and Timberwood Park Elementary (96th percentile) are 5-star schools, while Arlon R Seay ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide. A key differentiator is the school's higher percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds—about 40% qualify for free or reduced lunch, which is nearly three times higher than Indian Springs (9.24%) and Timberwood Park (10.32%). This context helps explain its test scores, but the school shows a remarkable "growth" trajectory: 5th-grade reading (77.48%) and math (68.47%) proficiency rates exceed the district average, even though 3rd-grade scores start well below it. This suggests the upper elementary grades are especially effective at closing achievement gaps.

Arlon R Seay excels in serving its Special Education students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, and consistently outperforms in 5th-grade Science, with proficiency rates often double the state average. However, it struggles with Gifted & Talented (55th percentile) and English Language Learner (50th percentile) programs. The school is located just 0.61 miles from Bill Brown Elementary, a 5-star school with much lower poverty rates, creating a fascinating contrast in educational ecosystems within the same community. After a dip in 2023-2024, the school has shown strong recovery across nearly all metrics, indicating targeted interventions are working.
