Summary

Stephen F Austin Elementary in Baytown, TX, is a K-5 campus within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District that serves 792 students and has experienced a significant and recent decline in academic performance, dropping from a 3-star rating (51st percentile) in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating (27th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This sharp drop is the most severe among nearby schools, and it stands in stark contrast to Crockett Elementary, located just 1.69 miles away, which maintains a 3-star rating (53rd percentile) despite serving a similar student population. The school's math scores are a critical weakness, with only about 26% of 3rd graders and 29% of 4th graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 44% and 49% respectively.

The decline is driven by a collapse in support for specific student groups. African American students, who were a standout success story at the 81st percentile in 2023-2024, dropped to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026. Similarly, low socio-economic status students fell from the 60th percentile to the 26th percentile in the same period. The school's Gifted and Talented program is also underperforming, ranking in the 10th percentile statewide, which suggests the school is not adequately challenging its highest-ability students. However, there is a potential bright spot: in the 2024-2025 school year, 66.67% of 3rd graders taking the Math STAAR in Spanish were proficient, far exceeding district and state averages, indicating that some instructional approaches are working well for specific cohorts.

When compared to other schools in the area, the differences are stark. Bob Hope Elementary School-Baytown, a nearby charter school, ranks in the 79th percentile (4 stars) and serves a similar low-income population, yet its 4th graders achieved 82% proficiency in math versus Austin's 29%. This comparison shows that high performance is achievable in the Baytown area with a different educational model. For parents considering Stephen F Austin Elementary, the key takeaway is that the school is currently struggling across multiple areas, particularly in math and for its highest-need students, but there are isolated examples of success that could be built upon with focused leadership and instructional changes.

My kids have attended SFA Elementary and I have always been extremely pleased with the school/teachers. Their teachers have always been so helpful in teaching the kids to be successful and to make the best choices for their future. The office staff is always pleasant and helpful. The principal (Mrs. Smith) is awesome too! Close Quote
