Summary

Scott Johnson Elementary in Huntsville, TX, serves 879 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Huntsville Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas school districts. The school has experienced a severe decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating (52nd percentile) in the 2022-2023 school year to a 0-star rating (7th percentile) in 2025-2026—a 45-percentile-point drop in just three years. Over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate significantly higher than the state average, which adds to the academic challenges the school faces.

Academically, Scott Johnson struggles across all subjects and student groups. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.77% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, far below the state average of 29.57% and the lowest among nearby schools like Huntsville Elementary (11.93%) and Stewart Elementary (7.32%). By 2025-2026, every student subgroup—including English Language Learners, Special Education students, and those from low-income backgrounds—scored in the bottom 10% of their statewide rankings. This is a stark contrast to the high-performing New Waverly Elementary and New Waverly Intermediate, located just 10 miles away, where 61.76% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading compared to 31.16% at Scott Johnson. The New Waverly schools, part of the New Waverly Independent School District (Isd), have a much lower rate of economic disadvantage (47-53% free/reduced lunch) and consistently score near or above the state average.

Despite these challenges, Scott Johnson has shown flashes of success. In the 2023-2024 school year, 40.18% of 4th graders were proficient in Math, the highest among all Huntsville ISD elementary schools that year. However, this progress has since reversed. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 20.6 is higher than the high-performing Parmley Elementary (16.1) in the Willis Independent School District (Isd), suggesting potential resource constraints. The contrast with nearby schools like Parmley, which ranks in the 56th percentile, shows that strong school-level leadership can overcome district-wide trends—a factor that is not currently working in Scott Johnson’s favor.
