Summary

Rutledge Elementary is a high-performing K-5 school in Austin, TX, serving 853 students within the Leander Independent School District (Isd) and consistently earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rutledge stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where 4th-grade proficiency rates have been as high as 77.78%—a remarkable 25 percentage points above the district average. The school has a long track record of ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools, peaking at the 96th percentile. While nearby schools like Patsy Sommer Elementary (Round Rock ISD) also perform well, Rutledge is the highest-performing school within its own district, significantly outpacing neighbors such as Charlotte Cox Elementary and Ronald Reagan Elementary. The school is also notably efficient with its resources, spending less per student ($8,939) than lower-performing peers like Pauline Naumann Elementary ($12,548) and Forest North Elementary ($14,327) while achieving far stronger results.

Despite its overall excellence, there are a few areas for parents to consider. The school’s state percentile rank has seen a slight decline from its peak, settling into the 91st-95th percentile range in recent years. Additionally, while Rutledge excels at supporting "At Risk" and English Language Learner students, its performance with Gifted and Talented students has dropped to the 39th percentile, suggesting a potential need for more enrichment opportunities for high-achievers. Science scores, while above state and district averages, are not as dominant as its reading and math results, representing a key opportunity for growth.
