Summary

Erma Nash Elementary is a PK-4 school in Mansfield, TX, serving 602 students within the Mansfield Independent School District (Isd), a high-performing district that has earned a 4-star rating.

Erma Nash Elementary is a school in transition. While it was a consistent 4-star school before the pandemic, its performance has since declined, and it now ranks in the 56th percentile statewide. This makes it the lowest-performing school in its immediate comparison group, a stark contrast to nearby top-tier schools like J L Boren Elementary (88th percentile) and Brenda Norwood Elementary (91st percentile). The school faces significant challenges related to economic disadvantage, with 64.45% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—the second-highest rate among its district peers. This factor strongly correlates with the academic hurdles the school is working to overcome.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Erma Nash’s 3rd graders scored above district and state averages in Math, and the school has shown exceptional performance with its African American students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide. However, performance with Special Education students has been a persistent weakness, ranking in the bottom 25th percentile for three consecutive years. The school’s overall trajectory is positive, climbing from the 30th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 56th percentile in the most recent year. This upward trend, combined with its strengths in early math and with African American students, provides a foundation for future growth.
