Summary

La Grange Elementary in La Grange, TX, serves 961 students in grades PK-6 within the La Grange Independent School District (Isd), a 4-star district that ranks in the 75th percentile statewide. The school itself has a history of consistent, mid-tier performance, typically ranking around the 52nd to 58th percentile over the last four years. With a student-teacher ratio of about 14:1 and per-student spending around $10,000, the school operates with resources typical for the region, serving a population where roughly 62% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch.

La Grange Elementary’s most notable strength is its exceptional support for Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 79th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year—a stark contrast to its overall rank and a clear area of excellence not matched by nearby schools. The school has also shown a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the 28th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 54th percentile by 2025-2026. However, the school presents a "Jekyll and Hyde" performance in math: 4th graders consistently outperform the state average (e.g., 62.24% proficient vs. 49.28% state), while 6th graders fall below it (e.g., 36.96% vs. 38.57% state). This sharp drop-off is a distinctive and concerning trend not seen at nearby Smithville Elementary or Round Top-Carmine Elementary, which show more consistent performance across grade levels.

Compared to its neighbors, La Grange Elementary is a picture of stability. It has consistently outperformed Schulenburg Elementary (12th percentile) and maintained a steadier course than Smithville Elementary, which has fluctuated between the 47th and 57th percentile. The most compelling contrast is with Round Top-Carmine Elementary, a tiny school (121 students) in a 5-star district just 15 miles away, where math scores are in a different league (e.g., 94.44% proficient in 5th grade vs. La Grange’s 47.52%). This highlights the challenge of scaling success across a larger, more diverse student body. A critical blind spot remains for "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 15th percentile in 2021-2022, suggesting this group needs more targeted support.
