Summary

John And Polly Townley Elementary in Everman, TX, serves 424 students in grades 1st through 5th and is part of the Everman Independent School District (Isd). The school has faced significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-17% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a current state ranking in the 10th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. Over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Compared to other schools in the district, Townley Elementary is the lowest-performing, with a substantial gap in key subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.81% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, while Bishop Elementary and Hommel Elementary achieved over 38% proficiency. Science scores have also been exceptionally low, with just 7.41% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 29.57%. Despite spending $14,310 per student—higher than nearby schools like Ann Brock Elementary At Oak Grove in Burleson Independent School District (Isd), which spends $8,896 per student—the school has not seen corresponding academic gains.

There are some notable bright spots. English Language Learner (ELL) students at Townley ranked in the 55th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating, though this success was not sustained into the following year. The school’s history shows a decline from a 47th percentile ranking in 2016-2017, indicating systemic challenges that have worsened over time. Nearby Ann Brock Elementary At Oak Grove, just 1.56 miles away in a more affluent area, ranks in the 43rd percentile, highlighting the strong link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes.
