Summary

Lipan Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Lipan, TX, serving 229 students as part of the Lipan Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top third of Texas districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of special education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group in the 2025-2026 school year—a dramatic improvement that far surpasses nearby schools like Brock Intermediate and Santo Elementary, which don't report similar data. However, math performance tells a different story: while 3rd graders score above the state average, 4th and 5th graders fall significantly behind, creating a "fade-out" effect not seen at higher-performing neighbors like Brock Intermediate or Santo Elementary. Reading is a clear strength, especially in 5th grade, where 80.56% of students meet proficiency—well above the state average of 58.47% and even outperforming Brock Intermediate's 76.41%.

With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 and higher-than-average per-student spending ($12,178), Lipan Elementary has the resources for individualized attention, yet its overall state ranking (67th percentile) lags behind schools like Santo Elementary (85th percentile) and Oak Woods School (88th percentile), which spend less. This raises questions about resource allocation, especially as performance for some student groups has declined. The school's small size offers potential for targeted programs, but replicating its special education success across other subjects remains a challenge.
