Summary
Oak Woods School is a PK-5 elementary school in Granbury, TX, serving 544 students within the Granbury Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as the top-performing elementary school in its district, ranking in the 88th percentile of all Texas elementary schools—a position it has held for two consecutive years. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1 and a declining percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (now at 37%), Oak Woods consistently earns 4 or 5 stars in academic performance, outperforming both district and state averages in reading, math, and science across all grade levels.
What truly sets Oak Woods apart is its exceptional performance with student subgroups that often face greater challenges. The school ranks in the 90th percentile or higher for Special Education students, low socio-economic status students, and male students, demonstrating that its success is broadly inclusive. For example, in 5th Grade Science, 57% of Oak Woods students were proficient—nearly double the state average of 30%. The school also achieved a remarkable turnaround for English Language Learners, jumping from the 28th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 96th percentile by 2023-2024. However, there is a notable dip in performance for Gifted and Talented students, who dropped from the 98th percentile to the 64th percentile in the most recent year, suggesting a need to re-evaluate enrichment opportunities for these high-achieving learners.
Compared to nearby schools, Oak Woods is a clear standout. While the Granbury ISD ranks in the 60th percentile statewide, Oak Woods ranks in the 88th percentile, far exceeding its district peers like Acton Elementary (80th percentile) and Mambrino School (69th percentile). Interestingly, Oak Woods achieves this high performance while spending less per student ($8,325) than any other elementary school in its district, making it a highly efficient "value-add" school. For context, the nearby Aledo Independent School District (Isd) is a powerhouse district ranked in the 99th percentile, with Stuard Elementary ranking in the 97th percentile—a reminder that while Oak Woods is a star in its district, families may also consider higher-performing options in neighboring districts.
