Summary

Monta Jane Akin Elementary in Leander, TX, is a high-performing school serving 872 students in grades PK through 5, part of the highly-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd).

Akin Elementary consistently ranks in the top 12% of Texas elementary schools, with a strong track record of excellence over the past seven years. The school excels in building a solid academic foundation, with 3rd-grade reading and math scores significantly above district and state averages. It also stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners, who ranked in the 96th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, and its strong performance for special education students, who ranked in the 84th percentile in 2025-2026. While the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, there is a slight downward trend in math proficiency in upper grades, such as 5th-grade math dropping from 74.55% to 57.4% over two years. Nearby Parkside Elementary is currently ranked higher but has a shorter track record, while Tarvin Elementary shows slightly lower peak performance. In contrast, Cactus Ranch Elementary in Round Rock Independent School District (Isd) is an outlier in the top 1% of Texas schools, achieving near-perfect proficiency rates with even lower poverty levels.

Notably, the school's overall high rank is influenced by its affluent student body, with only 4.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. However, performance for low socioeconomic status students has declined from the 82nd to the 62nd percentile over recent years, suggesting challenges in closing the achievement gap. This contrasts with schools like Christine Camacho Elementary and Lois F Giddens Elementary, which serve higher poverty populations and rank in the bottom 20% of the state, highlighting how community demographics can influence school metrics.
