The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Gause Elementary (76.76%) is a significant factor that may impact the school's academic performance. Compared to the nearby schools analyzed, Gause Elementary generally performs better on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are often lower than the state and district averages, as well as those of the nearby schools, such as Rockdale Elementary and Caldwell Elementary.
