Summary

Willie Brown Academy is a highly performing elementary school in Mansfield, TX, serving 608 students from Pre-K through 4th grade within the Mansfield Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 78th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional mathematics program, with 65.81% of 3rd graders and 64.44% of 4th graders proficient in math—dramatically higher than both the district and state averages, and a consistent trend over the past three years. While the school has a long history of excellence, its current ranking in the 87th percentile (580 out of 4627) represents a slight dip from its peak in the 98th percentile in 2020-2021, a trend worth noting when compared to nearby J L Boren Elementary, which has been on an upward trajectory and now holds a slightly higher rank (88th percentile).

Willie Brown Academy provides outstanding support for its Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 97th percentile statewide, and performs exceptionally well for its White student population (95th percentile). However, the school faces a notable challenge with its Asian students, who ranked in only the 39th percentile in 2025-2026—a significant drop from the 75th percentile two years prior. Additionally, support for students from low socio-economic backgrounds has been inconsistent, dropping to the 25th percentile in 2024-2025 before recovering to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 and serves a relatively low percentage of students from low socio-economic status (33.22% free/reduced lunch).

When compared to its neighbors, Willie Brown Academy significantly outperforms Janet Brockett Elementary, which ranks in the 23rd percentile and has a 66.83% free/reduced lunch rate, with proficiency rates nearly double in every subject and grade level. The school also ranks higher than Elizabeth Smith Academy (63rd percentile), Martha Reid Academy (70th percentile), and Alice Ponder Elementary (43rd percentile). While the school excels in reading, its math performance is truly the star, consistently showing a wider gap above district averages than in reading, indicating a specific school-wide strength in math instruction and curriculum.
