Summary

Newton Collins Elementary is a PK-5 school in Austin, TX, serving 600 students within the Del Valle Independent School District (Isd), and it has become a standout success story in the area.

Over the past seven years, Newton Collins has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 7th percentile statewide in 2018-2019 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026—a 50-percentile-point improvement. This makes it a clear leader among its district peers, outperforming nearby schools like Smith Elementary (33rd percentile) and Hillcrest Elementary (42nd percentile). In fact, Newton Collins exceeds the district average in English Reading and Math proficiency at every grade level tested, a feat not matched by its neighbors. It also stands out for its strong bilingual program, with 4th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency at 42.31% in 2025-2026, far higher than Smith (16.67%) or Hillcrest (29.17%). Additionally, the school supports its English Language Learners effectively, ranking higher in this subgroup than any other nearby school reporting data.

Newton Collins also demonstrates impressive resource efficiency, spending just $10,811 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—while achieving better results than schools spending significantly more, such as Rodriguez Elementary ($15,798) and Widen Elementary ($16,988). While the school excels overall, there are areas for growth, such as improving math performance for Spanish-speaking students and ensuring equity across all student groups. For families in the 78744 zip code, Newton Collins is a top-tier option, especially when compared to very low-performing schools like Widen (3rd percentile) or Langford Elementary (9th percentile).
