Summary

Andrews Elementary in Portland, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 530 students in grades 1-5 as part of the highly-rated Gregory-Portland Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 18% of Texas school districts. The school has made a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 50th percentile statewide in the 2023-2024 school year to its highest-ever ranking in the 76th percentile with a 4-star rating in 2025-2026—a remarkable 26-percentile-point leap that signals powerful positive changes.

What truly sets Andrews Elementary apart is its exceptional support for students facing challenges. Over 55% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school ranks in the 85th percentile for serving low socio-economic status students—far outperforming nearby schools like Allen Elementary and Woodroe Petty Elementary, which have higher poverty rates but rank in the bottom 15% of the state. The school also shines with English Language Learners, ranking in the 85th percentile for this subgroup, and its STAAR Spanish test scores are nearly double the state average. While East Cliff Elementary remains the district's consistent star, Andrews has become its closest competitor, achieving a 4-star rating while serving a higher-needs population.

Andrews Elementary excels in preparing students for middle school, with 5th-grade reading and math scores that are the highest in the entire district, surpassing even East Cliff. However, 3rd-grade math is a clear area for growth, with only 30.77% of students proficient—well below the district and state averages. The school has also shown a remarkable recovery for special education students, climbing from the bottom 3% in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating focused and effective interventions. Overall, Andrews Elementary is a school on the rise, with unique strengths in supporting its most vulnerable students.
