George West Elementary

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

George West Elementary in George West, TX, serves 235 students in grades 4 through 6 and is part of the high-performing George West Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 95th percentile in Texas. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.8:1, the school provides a supportive environment where students can thrive, particularly in reading.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional reading proficiency, which consistently far exceeds state averages across all grades. For the 2025-2026 school year, 80.68% of 4th graders, 75.29% of 5th graders, and 83.56% of 6th graders met reading standards, compared to state averages around 53-58%. This strong foundation continues at the nearby George West J H, where 7th and 8th graders also significantly outperform the state in reading. However, the school faces a notable "math dip" in 5th and 6th grades, with math proficiency dropping from 79.55% in 4th grade to about 54-55% in the upper grades—still above state averages, but a clear area for growth. Interestingly, the district's advanced math program shines at the junior high, where students achieve a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, suggesting that the elementary math foundation, despite the dip, prepares select students well for advanced coursework.

Science is another growth area, with 5th grade scores above the state average but still low in absolute terms. On a positive note, the school shows consistent year-over-year improvement across nearly all subjects, reflecting effective teaching and a focus on growth. The strong performance at both the elementary and junior high levels points to a cohesive district-wide instructional strategy, making George West Elementary a solid choice for families seeking a school with a proven track record in reading and a commitment to continuous improvement.
