Summary

Bluebonnet Trail Elementary is a PK-5 campus in Austin, TX, serving 556 students as part of the Manor Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 6th percentile statewide.

Bluebonnet Trail has experienced a dramatic and concerning academic decline over the past five years, dropping from the 68th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 7th percentile in the most recent data. This steep fall is unique in the area—nearby schools like Copperfield Elementary (in Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd)) have remained stable, and Pioneer Crossing Elementary (same district) has been consistently low. The school’s proficiency rates in English-language Math and Reading are alarmingly low—for example, 4th Grade Math sits at just 16.88% and 5th Grade Reading at 29.35%—well below both district and state averages. However, the school shows a notable strength in its Spanish-language assessments, consistently outperforming its district and often the state on STAAR Spanish tests, suggesting its bilingual program is a relative bright spot.

Perhaps the most telling insight is that Bluebonnet Trail was once in the top 11% of schools for serving "At Risk" students, earning a 4-star rating in 2021-2022. This success has completely evaporated, with the most recent data showing a 0-star rating for this group. The school’s per-student spending ($10,808) is comparable to higher-performing peers like Magnolia Montessori For All ($9,660), indicating the issue is not a lack of resources but how they are used. The comparison with Copperfield Elementary is striking: Copperfield has a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (90.3% vs. 72.3%) but achieves significantly better results, such as 60.94% proficiency in 5th Grade Math versus Bluebonnet’s 21.98%. This suggests the challenges at Bluebonnet Trail are tied to school-level or district-level factors, not just student demographics. A significant intervention is needed to reverse this downward trend and recapture the school’s past effectiveness.

What people are saying

Friday, March 27, 2009

Our two boys have attended for 2 years now and we have been thrilled.
Coming from a small Christian private school, we were very concerned with the quality.
It has exceeded our expectations. The principal is a hands on advocate for both the teachers and students.
Last year (2007/08) they achieved 'Recognized' status and are well on their way to doing it again. They perform far above any other school in the Manor school district.

I would recommend BTE to anyone! Close Quote
