Summary
Iduma Elementary in Killeen, TX, serves 801 students in grades PK-5 within the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), and is located in an area where 71.79% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 31st percentile statewide, placing it below many nearby schools, such as Haynes Elementary, which serves a similar demographic but earns a 3-star rating and 52nd percentile ranking. While Iduma shows some strengths, its performance is inconsistent across subjects and grade levels, with notable challenges in math and science.
One of the most concerning trends is in 5th grade math, where only 22.22% of students were proficient in the 2024-2025 school year—a sharp drop from 39% the year before and well below the district average of 40.36% and state average of 46.24%. Science is another persistent weakness, with just 13.68% of 5th graders proficient, which is the lowest among nearby schools like Haynes Elementary (36.51%) and Clear Creek Elementary (20.99%). However, there is a bright spot in 5th grade reading, where students have historically performed closer to state averages, and the school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, showing that high-achieving students are well-supported.
Iduma also excels with English Language Learners (ELL), consistently earning 4-star ratings, which sets it apart from many peers. However, the Special Education program has shown extreme volatility, dropping from a 91st percentile ranking to the 25th percentile in recent data, signaling a need for review. Interestingly, per-student spending at Iduma ($9,777) is mid-range compared to neighbors like Montague Village Elementary ($10,709) and Haynes Elementary ($8,610), suggesting that instructional strategies, not funding, may be the key to improvement. For parents, Iduma offers pockets of excellence but requires close attention to math and science outcomes.
