Summary

Larkspur Elementary is a mid-sized school in Leander, TX, serving 834 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Leander Independent School District (Isd), a highly-rated district ranking in the top 21% of Texas schools.

While Larkspur has shown recent improvement, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 65th percentile statewide for 2025-2026, it stands out for its academic volatility compared to nearby schools. For example, Tarvin Elementary and Rancho Sienna Elementary consistently rank in the top 10-15% of Texas schools, while Larkspur’s performance has swung dramatically from the 65th percentile to the 36th percentile in recent years. The school also shows a clear "two-speed" pattern: 3rd-grade Reading scores (65.42% proficient) are 14 points above the state average, but 4th-grade Math scores (36.07% proficient) are 13 points below it. This gap is far more pronounced than at Tarvin Elementary, where Reading and Math scores are much closer together. Additionally, 5th-grade Science is a critical concern, with only 21.37% of students proficient in 2024-2025—a rate nearly tripled by nearby Rancho Sienna Elementary (54.62%) and Bar W Elementary (51.85%).

Interestingly, Larkspur’s challenges are not due to a lack of resources. The school has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 and a low poverty rate (16.55% free/reduced lunch), factors typically linked to higher performance. Yet it underperforms peers like Donald Lewis Hisle (84th percentile) and Rancho Sienna Elementary (90th percentile). The school excels with Special Education students (ranking in the 70th percentile) but struggles with Hispanic and low-income students, who rank in the 29th and 26th percentiles respectively. This suggests that while Larkspur has effective strategies for some groups, it needs to focus on equitable outcomes and curriculum alignment, especially in Math and Science, to match the consistency of its high-performing neighbors.
