Summary

Benjamin Doc Kerley Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school (PK-5) in Hutto, TX, serving 806 students within the Hutto Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as a steady, reliable performer, consistently earning a 3-star rating from Schooldigger over the past six years, placing it in the 53rd to 63rd percentile statewide. While it may not be a top-tier school, its stability is a key strength, especially when compared to nearby Hutto ISD peers like Howard Norman Elementary and Cottonwood Creek Elementary, which have shown more volatile performance.

One of the school's most impressive features is its exceptional support for English Language Learners (ELL), who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide in the most recent school year—a dramatic improvement and a 5-star rating. This suggests a highly effective program that helps these students thrive. Additionally, Kerley’s 5th graders consistently outperform both district and state averages in Reading and Math, indicating strong cumulative learning that prepares students well for middle school. The school also achieves these results with a leaner budget ($9,272 per student) compared to other Hutto ISD schools, pointing to efficient resource use.

However, Kerley faces some challenges. While its overall performance is solid, its majority student groups (White and Hispanic) earn only 2-star ratings, meaning they are not performing as well relative to their peers statewide. There is also a notable gap for Asian students, who ranked in the 17th percentile. Furthermore, the school is located near high-performing schools in the Round Rock Independent School District (Isd), such as Linda Herrington Elementary (96th percentile) and Forest Creek Elementary (85th percentile), which have more resources and lower rates of economic disadvantage. Despite this, Kerley provides a consistent, high-value education within the Hutto community, making it a solid choice for families seeking stability and strong ELL support.
