Summary

Lee Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Irving Independent School District (Isd) serving 717 students in a community where 83.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has experienced a sustained academic decline over nearly a decade.

Lee Elementary currently ranks in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools, a sharp drop from its 2016-2017 peak at the 47th percentile. This decline is most evident in mathematics, where proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders range from 18% to 25%—far below the state average of 44-49%. In contrast, nearby Brandenburg Elementary (just 0.58 miles away) ranks in the 61st percentile, and Keyes Elementary (2 miles away) achieves math proficiency rates more than double Lee's. The school's Hispanic student population, likely the largest demographic group, ranks in the 2nd percentile statewide—the lowest-performing subgroup at the school. A nearby charter school, Great Hearts Irving (1.87 miles away), with a much lower free/reduced lunch rate of 19.75%, achieves 5th-grade reading proficiency (65.79%) more than double Lee's (31.87%).

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. Lee Elementary shows relative strength in Spanish-language STAAR tests, where 5th graders achieved 35.71% proficiency in Reading and 42.86% in Mathematics in 2023-2024—higher than district and state averages for Spanish-language tests. Additionally, the school's "At Risk" students once ranked in the 52nd percentile in 2018-2019, suggesting effective strategies existed but were not sustained. The school's spending per student ($10,537-$11,077) is slightly above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio (16.8:1) is typical for the district, indicating resources are available but have not reversed the multi-year downward trend.
