Summary

J W Monday Elementary in Kaufman, TX, serves 513 students in 1st through 5th grade and is part of the Kaufman Independent School District (Isd), a 3-star district ranked in the 57th percentile statewide. The school has experienced a notable decline from a high point in the 2023-2024 school year (71st percentile, 4 stars) to the 49th percentile (2 stars) for 2025-2026, yet it still outperforms many nearby high-poverty schools like Gilbert Willie Senior Elementary (7th percentile) and W A Martin Elementary (5th percentile), despite having 75.44% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.

J W Monday consistently excels in 5th Grade Reading, with 60% proficiency in 2025-2026, beating the district average and outpacing the state. However, the school struggles significantly in Mathematics, particularly in 4th grade where only 35.45% of students are proficient, creating a wider gap between reading and math performance than the state average. The school also shows a notable strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 73rd percentile for this group in 2025-2026, which far exceeds its overall ranking. In contrast, the school faces challenges with its White student population, which ranks in the 16th percentile, a dramatic decline from 57th percentile two years prior.

Within the Kaufman Independent School District (Isd), J W Monday remains a solid performer compared to district rivals J R Phillips Elementary and Lucille Nash Elementary, though the gap is closing as J W Monday declines. The school's post-pandemic recovery high in 2023-2024 appears to be losing momentum, suggesting that strategies that led to that peak may need refreshing. The primary challenge for J W Monday is to reverse this downward trend and address internal disparities in performance to return to its former 4-star status.
