Summary

Wm B Travis Elementary in Marshall, TX, is a K-5 school serving 473 students within the Marshall Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges but where Travis stands out as a solid, middle-tier school with a remarkable story of improvement.

Travis Elementary has shown a dramatic turnaround over the past decade, climbing from the bottom 4th percentile in 2015-2016 to its current position in the 46th percentile statewide. This is a school that has successfully pulled itself up, and its greatest strength lies in serving specific groups of students exceptionally well. For instance, the school ranks in the 94th percentile for Special Education students, earning a 5-star rating—a phenomenal achievement that suggests highly effective support programs. Similarly, Hispanic students perform well above the school's overall average, ranking in the 74th percentile. However, the school's progress is fragile, with year-to-year performance swings that indicate success may depend heavily on the specific group of students in a given year. For example, 5th-grade Math proficiency jumped from 28% to 69% in one year before settling at 50%.

When compared to nearby schools, Travis is the clear middle performer in a polarized district. It sits between the high-performing Sam Houston Elementary (94th percentile, 5-star) and struggling schools like Crockett Elementary and Price T Young Elementary (both in the 1st percentile). Notably, Sam Houston serves a lower percentage of low-income students (66.6% vs. 87.7% at Travis) and achieves significantly higher test scores, highlighting the strong link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes. Travis spends $10,078 per student—more than Sam Houston but less than Price T Young—showing that how money is spent matters more than the amount. For parents, Travis offers a school that is making meaningful progress, especially for students who need extra support, but one that still faces challenges in stabilizing its overall performance.
