Summary

Tarvin Elementary in Leander, TX, is a high-performing school serving 838 students in grades PK through 5, part of the top-ranked Leander Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for four consecutive years and a 5-star rating in 2022-2023, placing it in the 88th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from nearby peers like Bagdad Elementary (13th percentile) and Christine Camacho Elementary (13th percentile). Its consistent performance, with rankings between the 87th and 91st percentile over the last five years, reflects stable leadership and effective instructional practices.

Academically, Tarvin excels in Reading and Math across all tested grades, often outperforming district and state averages by wide margins. For example, in 4th-grade Math, proficiency reached 67.13%, nearly 15 points higher than the district average. However, the school shows a notable strength with male students, ranking in the 93rd percentile for this group, while female students rank at the 81st percentile. Additionally, Tarvin has demonstrated exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. Its closest academic rivals are in the Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), such as Rancho Sienna Elementary (90th percentile) and Bar W Elementary (87th percentile), which compete closely in subjects like Science, where Tarvin’s proficiency (46.77%) lags behind these schools.

Despite its overall success, Tarvin faces challenges in serving specific student groups. The school’s low-income students rank in the bottom 25% statewide, highlighting an equity gap that contrasts with the school’s overall high performance. On a positive note, Special Education students have seen a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 30th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 78th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating successful interventions. For parents, Tarvin offers a stable, high-achieving environment with strong academics, though families with children in need of additional support may want to explore how the school addresses these areas.
