Summary

Nadine Johnson Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Hutto Independent School District (Isd), serving 547 students in the rapidly growing suburban area northeast of Austin. The school has generally performed in the middle to lower-middle tier of Texas elementary schools, with a state percentile rank typically between the 32nd and 46th percentile, and its most recent data places it at the 44th percentile with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A key differentiator for Nadine Johnson is a significant gender achievement gap: female students rank in the 62nd percentile, while male students rank in the 23rd percentile—a 39-percentile-point gap that is not seen at nearby schools like Veterans Hill Elementary. On a positive note, the school excels with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 70th percentile with a 4-star rating, a dramatic turnaround from the previous year. However, the school shows critical weaknesses in supporting Special Education students (7th percentile) and low socio-economic status students (20th percentile), which are significantly below the performance of similar subgroups at higher-performing district schools like Hutto Elementary.

There is a clear performance divide between Hutto ISD schools and neighboring districts: all Hutto ISD elementary schools rank between the 29th and 68th percentile, while nearby schools from Round Rock Independent School District (Isd) (like Redbud Elementary and Forest Creek Elementary) and Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd) (like Rowe Lane Elementary and Dearing Elementary) consistently rank in the 63rd to 85th percentile. Nadine Johnson’s math performance is also erratic, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 50.59% (above the state average) but 4th-grade math proficiency dropping to 32.05% (well below the state average), suggesting a potential issue with the 4th-grade math curriculum or instruction.
