Summary

Florence Elementary in Florence, TX, serves 523 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Florence Independent School District (Isd), a small, rural community where the school has historically performed in the middle of the pack statewide, currently ranking at the 39th percentile.

Florence Elementary is a "middle of the pack" performer in a region of extremes. It significantly outperforms struggling schools in the nearby Jarrell Independent School District (Isd), such as Igo Elementary and Double Creek Elementary, which consistently rank in the bottom 10-20% of the state. However, it is dramatically outperformed by high-achieving schools in the Georgetown Independent School District (Isd) and Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), like Jo Ann Ford Elementary (91st percentile) and Tierra Rosa Elementary (76th percentile). This creates a stark contrast where Florence is a relative success story compared to one neighbor but a struggling school compared to another.

A bright spot is 4th-grade math, where Florence's proficiency rate of 57.33% in 2025-2026 significantly exceeded the state average of 49.28%, a recent improvement from the previous year. However, the school shows critical weaknesses in serving its Hispanic and Special Education students, who rank in the 28th and 22nd percentiles, respectively. Additionally, 5th-grade science is a universal weakness across the region, with Florence scoring 30.26% proficient in 2024-2025, just above the state average. The school's spending of $11,882 per student is higher than some high-performing neighbors like Raye McCoy Elementary ($11,365), suggesting that resource allocation alone does not determine success.
