Summary

Lucille Nash Elementary in Kaufman, TX, serves 604 students in grades 1-5 within the Kaufman Independent School District (Isd), a district rated 3 stars, and is located in a community where about 73% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has seen a notable recent decline, dropping from the 64th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 33rd percentile in 2024-2025. While it has a history of solid mid-tier performance, this sharp drop is a key concern. In contrast, its nearby neighbor, J R Phillips Elementary, which serves a similar student population, improved over the same period. A major red flag is 5th-grade science, where only 13.71% of students scored proficient—far below the state average of 29.57% and less than half the rate at J R Phillips (34.31%). However, there is a bright spot: 4th-grade math has consistently met or exceeded state averages, suggesting a successful instructional model in that grade that could be replicated elsewhere.

The school spends less per student ($9,088) than most nearby elementary schools, yet its overall rank is higher than many peers in the Crandall Independent School District (Isd), indicating some efficiency. However, the recent decline in performance for all student groups—including those who previously excelled, such as special education students (who dropped from the 82nd to a lower percentile)—signals a need for urgent intervention. The school’s gifted and talented program also saw a steep drop, from the 66th to the 23rd percentile, suggesting a need to better challenge top performers. Overall, Lucille Nash is at a crossroads, with a strong foundation but clear areas requiring focused improvement, especially in science and for its most vulnerable students.
