Summary

Club Hill Stem Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Garland Independent School District (Isd) serving 443 students, and it stands out as the most improved school in its area, surging from the 19th to the 45th percentile in state rankings over the past year—a dramatic leap of over 1,200 places. This improvement is especially notable because the school serves a high-poverty community, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it is the only neighborhood school in its vicinity showing a clear upward trajectory. While nearby magnet schools like Kimberlin Academy For Excel and Hillside Academy For Excel have long been top performers with lower poverty rates, Club Hill is breaking out of the bottom tier where schools like Shugart Elementary and Daugherty Elementary have remained stagnant.

What makes Club Hill unique is its exceptional performance with specific student groups. The school is particularly effective with African American students (ranking in the 66th percentile) and students from low socio-economic backgrounds (63rd percentile), both earning three-star ratings—a rare achievement for a high-poverty school. However, the school is less effective with Hispanic students (23rd percentile), a group that performs better at nearby high-performing schools. As a STEM-designated school, Club Hill is one of three in the area, but it is the only one showing strong momentum; Southgate Stem Elementary is declining, and Handley Stem Elementary is improving at a slower pace.

Despite its progress, Club Hill has a critical weakness in science—only 6.35% of 5th graders were proficient in 2024-2025, far below district and state averages, which is concerning for a STEM school. On a positive note, the school’s bilingual program is a hidden strength, with Spanish-language STAAR scores in 3rd-grade math and 4th-grade reading significantly outperforming district and state averages. The school also showed a remarkable recovery in 5th-grade scores from one year to the next, suggesting that targeted interventions are now yielding results in the upper grades.
