Summary

Beaver Technology Center is a PK-5 elementary school in the Garland Independent School District (Isd) serving 562 students, and it stands out as a top-performing school in Texas, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide with a 5-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

What truly sets Beaver Technology Center apart is its remarkable success with students from lower socio-economic backgrounds, with about 65% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school ranks in the 97th percentile for serving these students, far outperforming nearby schools with similar poverty rates. For example, Bradfield Elementary (93% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 74th percentile overall, while Bullock Elementary (96% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 53rd percentile. Beaver Technology Center consistently achieves high proficiency rates across all grades in Reading and Math, with every grade scoring above 64% proficient—a stark contrast to schools like Bradfield, where 4th-grade Reading proficiency was just 29%. The school also shows exceptional results for its African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the 96th and 90th percentiles respectively. Interestingly, its neighbor Walnut Glen Academy For Excel ranks even higher (99th percentile) but serves a lower percentage of low-income students, making Beaver a more compelling story of educational equity.

While the school excels overall, there are areas for growth. Fifth-grade Science scores have been a persistent weakness, with only 39% proficient in 2024-2025, though still above district and state averages. Additionally, the school's Special Education and Gifted & Talented programs rank lower, at the 59th and 53rd percentiles respectively. Despite a pandemic-era dip to the 66th percentile in 2020-2021, the school has made a powerful comeback, demonstrating strong leadership and resilience. Beaver Technology Center is a high-performing, high-poverty school that proves poverty is not a barrier to achievement, making it a standout choice for families in the Garland area.
