Summary

Mart Elementary in Mart, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 352 students from Pre-K through 6th grade as part of the Mart Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a consistent 3-star rating by ranking in the top third of all Texas elementary schools.

This school stands out as a "math school," with students consistently outperforming the state average in mathematics across nearly all grade levels—for example, 60% of 3rd graders were proficient compared to the state's 44%. It is a bright spot in a region where many nearby schools, like South Waco Elementary and Marlin Elementary, struggle with low performance. Mart Elementary achieves these strong results while serving a student population where 66% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it does so with efficient spending of $10,403 per student—less than many lower-performing peers. The school is particularly effective for Hispanic students and those in special education, both of whom rank in the top quartile statewide.

While Mart Elementary excels in math, its reading scores are generally on par with or slightly above the state average, and it has a notable challenge in serving its African American students, who have ranked in the bottom 16th percentile for three consecutive years. The Gifted and Talented program also shows inconsistent performance, swinging from the 86th percentile to the 32nd percentile in recent years. Interestingly, Coolidge Elementary is a comparable school with a similar overall ranking and demographics, but it is a "reading school" with strong early literacy, suggesting a potential for beneficial collaboration between the two.
