Summary

Baty Elementary is a PK-5 school in Austin, TX, serving 558 students as part of the Del Valle Independent School District (Isd), where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating extremely high economic need.

Despite spending over $13,000 per student—more than nearby higher-performing schools like Travis Hts Elementary ($10,999) and the University Of Texas Elementary Charter School ($12,085)—Baty has ranked in the bottom 1-3% of Texas elementary schools for five years, hitting the 0th percentile in the most recent data. This makes it the lowest-performing school in its immediate area, even compared to other struggling schools like Allison Elementary and Linder Elementary. A critical red flag is 5th Grade Science: only 3.77% of students were proficient on the English STAAR, far below the district (14.31%) and state (29.57%) averages, and dramatically lower than nearby high-poverty schools like KIPP Paseo Pri (32.26%) and Smith Elementary (41.67%).

Interestingly, Baty’s bilingual program appears to be a relative strength: Spanish-language STAAR Reading scores in 3rd and 4th grade (29.82% and 37.78% proficient) actually exceeded the district average and were competitive with the state, while English Reading scores lagged behind. This suggests the dual-language instruction may be more effective than the general education program. However, the school’s overall trajectory is worsening, with steep declines affecting all major student groups. Even within the low-performing Del Valle ISD, Smith Elementary (33rd percentile) performs significantly better, showing that school-level effectiveness varies widely. For parents, the data points to a school where funding is not translating into results, and where science instruction and consistent support for all students are critical areas of concern.
