Summary

Elizabeth Smith Academy is a PK-4 elementary school in Mansfield, TX, serving 617 students as part of the highly-rated Mansfield Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a strong historical legacy, consistently ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools for five years through 2021, it has experienced a significant decline over the last four years, dropping from the 94th percentile to the 63rd percentile. This downward trend is the most critical story for this school, especially when compared to nearby peers like Willie Brown Academy (87th percentile), Brenda Norwood Elementary (91st percentile), and Cora Spencer Elementary (91st percentile), which have all maintained or improved their rankings.

A key area of concern is mathematics, particularly in 3rd grade, where only 41.61% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year. This is significantly below the district average (50.62%) and even the state average (44.33%). In contrast, top-performing nearby schools like Brenda Norwood Elementary (59.18% proficient) and Cora Spencer Elementary (59.8% proficient) show much stronger math outcomes. The school also shows a notable drop in its effectiveness for one student subgroup, with its ranking for that group falling from the 84th percentile to the 31st percentile over two years—a major contributor to the overall decline. No other nearby school shows such a drastic change for this demographic.

On a positive note, Elizabeth Smith Academy has been exceptionally effective with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 83rd percentile in 2025-2026, a clear area of expertise. However, it struggles with Special Education students, whose ranking fell to the 42nd percentile. Interestingly, the school’s per-student spending ($8,938) is in line with other Mansfield ISD schools, suggesting the decline is not due to a lack of funding but likely points to instructional or administrative challenges. For parents comparing options, Judy Miller Elementary, just 1.23 miles away, has shown more recent stability and even slightly higher 3rd-grade reading scores (56.06% vs. 55.47%), indicating the gap between these two similar schools is closing.
