Summary

Stephen F Austin Environmental Science Academy is an elementary school in Grand Prairie, TX, serving 605 students in grades PK-5 within the Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd). The school has historically been a top performer, but recent data shows a significant decline, dropping to its lowest rank in a decade. While it once led nearby schools, it has now been surpassed by peers like Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary, which has shown consistent improvement and now outperforms Stephen F Austin in key areas like 4th-grade reading.

Despite the overall downturn, the school has notable strengths. It is exceptionally effective with its Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the 98th percentile statewide. Additionally, the school shows a strong "value-add" in upper elementary math, with 5th graders scoring significantly higher in math proficiency than 3rd graders—a trend that outpaces district and state averages. However, these successes are tempered by challenges, including a dramatic drop in performance for White students and a fading track record of supporting "At Risk" and low-income students, who once ranked among the best in the state.

The school's Spanish-language program is a mixed bag: it excels in reading, with upper-grade students far exceeding district and state averages, but struggles in math, where scores are consistently very low. Science is also a persistent weakness, despite the school's environmental science focus. For parents, Stephen F Austin offers a unique environment with clear strengths in gifted education and upper-grade math, but the recent decline and inconsistent performance across subgroups warrant careful consideration, especially when compared to rising nearby schools like Dwight D Eisenhower Elementary.
