Summary

Fred H Tally Elementary is a K-5 school in the Kerrville Independent School District (Isd), serving 525 students and consistently ranking among the top 15-20% of elementary schools in Texas over the past decade. This school stands out as the clear academic leader within the district, outperforming its peers by a wide margin—for example, in 5th Grade Reading, Tally scored 76.92% proficient compared to 65.22% at Nimitz Elementary, the next best district school. Tally also excels at supporting diverse learners, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide for Special Education students and the 95th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, demonstrating its effectiveness in closing achievement gaps.

While Tally is a top performer, it operates in a competitive regional landscape. Nearby Hunt School (9.68 miles away) is an elite 5-star institution ranking in the 93rd percentile, and Harper Elementary and Ingram Elementary are also strong 4-star schools. However, Tally achieves its high rankings with lower per-student spending ($8,366) compared to these peers (Hunt: $14,821; Harper: $10,366; Ingram: $10,023), suggesting efficient use of resources. The school has shown remarkable improvement with Special Education students, jumping from the 62nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 94th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating targeted and effective interventions.

One area for growth is support for English Language Learners, where Tally ranked in the bottom 20-30% of the state in recent years, though this data is a few years old and may have been addressed. Overall, Tally is a resilient, high-performing school that serves as a pillar of academic excellence within the district, making it a top choice for families in the Kerrville area. Its consistent outperformance of district and state averages across subjects and grades, combined with its ability to support a wide range of learners, underscores its value as a school of choice.
