Summary

Daniels Elementary in Kerrville, TX, is a K-5 school serving 516 students within the Kerrville Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 30% of Texas school districts. While the school has historically been a solid performer, recent data shows a notable dip in its overall state ranking to the 54th percentile, its lowest point in five years, driven primarily by a significant challenge in mathematics.

The most critical differentiator for Daniels Elementary is its struggle with math proficiency, especially in upper grades. In the most recent school year, only 34% of 5th graders and 39.5% of 4th graders were proficient in math, which is dramatically lower than the district average and well below the state average. This is a stark contrast to its high-performing district peer, Fred H Tally Elementary, where 58% of 5th graders and 59% of 4th graders were proficient in math. This math deficit is the primary reason for the school's recent ranking decline, making it one of the lower-performing elementary schools in the district alongside Starkey Elementary.

Despite these challenges, Daniels has notable strengths. The school has a strong track record of serving its most vulnerable students, having previously ranked in the 91st percentile for "At Risk Students." Additionally, its performance with Special Education students has been a success story, ranking in the 87th percentile in a recent year. In Reading, Daniels is generally competitive with district and state averages, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency (58%) above the state average (51%). The school's leadership will need to urgently address the math weakness while leveraging its past successes with targeted student groups to reverse the recent downward trend.
