Summary

Nimitz Elementary in Kerrville, TX, is a K-5 school serving 520 students within the Kerrville Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a rising star with a 4-star rating and a 76th percentile statewide ranking for the 2025-2026 school year, showing strong upward momentum after a recent dip.

What truly sets Nimitz apart is its exceptional support for its most vulnerable students, making it an equity champion in the area. The school ranks in the 95th percentile for Special Education students and the 87th percentile for low socio-economic status (SES) students, despite about 70% of its population qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This is a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools like Fred H Tally Elementary, which has higher overall test scores but serves a less disadvantaged population. Nimitz also effectively supports English Language Learners, with students taking the STAAR test in Spanish scoring significantly higher than the state average for Spanish test-takers. However, the school has a unique challenge: while 4th and 5th-grade reading scores are above district and state averages, 3rd-grade math scores lag behind, and 5th-grade science proficiency (29.58%) is a consistent weakness that needs attention.

For parents, Nimitz offers a compelling choice if you value a school that works hard to close achievement gaps and support diverse learners. Its upward trajectory contrasts with Starkey Elementary and Daniels Elementary, which have seen declining or stagnant rankings. While it may not match the elite performance of Hunt School (98th percentile district) or Ingram Elementary (84th percentile district), Nimitz’s focused support for special education and low-SES students, combined with its rising performance, makes it a standout for families seeking a school that prioritizes equity and growth.
