Summary

Converse Elementary in Converse, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Judson Independent School District (Isd) serving 577 students, and it has faced significant challenges in recent years, with a state ranking in the 19th percentile and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The most notable change is a sharp increase in economic disadvantage, with 92.72% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year—a dramatic 25-percentage-point jump from the previous year. This rate is the highest among nearby full-grade competitors like Woodlake Elementary (85.76%) and Spring Meadows Elementary (91.69%), and it sets Converse apart from its closest rival, Elolf Steam Academy, which has a lower rate of 71.33%.

Academically, Converse Elementary shows a "two-school" dynamic. Its Gifted and Talented (GT) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the 52nd percentile statewide—a full 33 points above the school's overall rank. However, the school struggles with its largest subgroups, including Hispanic students (20th percentile) and English Language Learners (9th percentile). In 4th-grade math, proficiency dropped to just 16.3% in 2024-2025, the lowest among nearby schools like Copperfield Elementary (38.95%), but rebounded to 28.16% the following year, showing a glimmer of improvement. Meanwhile, 5th-grade science scores have been inconsistent, though the 5th-grade team has shown relative strength in math and reading.

Compared to Elolf Steam Academy, located just 0.69 miles away, Converse has been more stable at a lower performance level, while Elolf experienced a sharper recent decline. The rapid influx of economically disadvantaged students at Converse is a key differentiator, and the school's history of strong performance with African American students (73rd percentile in 2023-2024) suggests that targeted programs can be effective. For parents, this means Converse offers a strong GT program but faces significant hurdles in raising overall achievement, especially for its most vulnerable students.
