of 4,627 Texas Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Keeley Elementary in Rowlett, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 582 students in grades PK-5, and it is part of the Garland Independent School District (Isd).

Keeley Elementary stands out as a true academic powerhouse, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This places it far ahead of nearly every nearby school. For example, while Herfurth Elementary is a strong performer in the 91st percentile, other nearby schools like Liberty Grove Elementary and Steadham Elementary rank much lower. Keeley’s STAAR test scores are consistently 20-30 percentage points higher than the district average and 25-35 points higher than the state average, demonstrating a school-wide culture of achievement that far exceeds its local context. The school has also shown remarkable improvement, especially in supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who now perform in the 98th percentile, and special education students, who jumped to the 95th percentile.

One interesting area for growth is with Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who rank in the 57th percentile—a notable contrast to the school’s overall excellence. This suggests that while Keeley is exceptional at bringing all students to high proficiency, it may not yet provide the same level of enrichment for its highest achievers. For families in Rowlett, Keeley Elementary offers a public school option that rivals or exceeds the performance of schools in the more affluent Rockwall Independent School District (Isd), all while being part of a diverse and representative community.
