Summary

Austin Elementary in Conroe, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 896 students within the Conroe Independent School District (Isd), and it has experienced a significant and concerning downward trend in its overall state ranking over the past five years, dropping from the 60th percentile to the 32nd percentile. This decline is reflected in test scores that consistently lag behind both district and state averages, and the school serves a high-needs population with over 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While many nearby schools show stable or fluctuating performance, Austin Elementary’s decline is steep and consistent, now ranking below most of its peers, including Wilkinson Elementary (62nd percentile) and Runyan Elementary (69th percentile).

One of the most dramatic differentiators is the school's significant underperformance for White students, ranking in the 6th percentile for this subgroup, while performing relatively better for Hispanic students (41st percentile) and Low Socio-Economic Status students (49th percentile). Additionally, Austin Elementary has a larger student-to-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 compared to nearby schools like Armstrong Elementary (13.3:1) and Creighton Elementary (12.7:1), and its per-student spending of $9,243 is among the lowest in the comparison group, despite serving a high-poverty population. This resource gap may be contributing to the school's performance challenges, especially when schools with similar poverty rates, like Anderson Elementary ($12,264) and Houston Elementary ($11,029), spend significantly more per student.

Despite the overall downward trend, Austin Elementary has a history of strong performance with "At Risk" students, ranking in the 71st percentile in the 2021-2022 school year, indicating effective strategies for supporting its most vulnerable students in the past. However, the most recent data shows a sharp drop in performance across almost all metrics, including severe declines for Special Education students (15th percentile) and Gifted & Talented students (20th percentile). Interestingly, Creighton Elementary, which has similar demographics and was a much higher-performing school, also saw its rank plummet to the 34th percentile in the same year, suggesting that a district-wide or regional factor may be impacting these high-poverty schools simultaneously.

I have a special needs child that attends this school. The staff and the teacher are very very rude and do not have the skill nor the resources to teach children with disabilities. Close Quote
