Summary

Acton Elementary in Granbury, TX, is a large PK-5 school serving 841 students within the Granbury Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years, placing it in the 80th percentile statewide.

Acton Elementary stands out for its exceptional efficiency and strong academic results, especially in science. The school spends significantly less per student ($7,931) than nearby schools like Nettie Baccus Elementary ($10,322) and John And Lynn Brawner Elementary ($9,371), yet it outperforms them in overall rankings. In 5th-grade science, 60.47% of Acton students were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 29.57% and the district average of 44.91%. While Acton is the highest-ranked elementary in its district, it shares top billing with Oak Woods School, which recently reached the 88th percentile. Acton also excels at supporting students from lower-income backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 88th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement compared to other area schools with similar demographics.

However, there are areas to watch. Acton’s 5th-grade reading proficiency dipped from 70.31% to 60.4% in the most recent year, falling below the district average. Additionally, while the school is highly effective at lifting up students who need the most support, its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 47th-54th percentile, suggesting that high-achieving students may not be as challenged. Overall, Acton Elementary is a cost-effective, high-performing anchor for the Granbury ISD, but parents should monitor reading trends and enrichment opportunities for advanced learners.
