Summary

Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary in Maypearl, TX, serves 342 students in grades 2 through 5 within the Maypearl Independent School District (Isd), a rural district that ranks in the 40th percentile statewide.

This school has a standout strength: its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 97th percentile statewide, placing it among the top 3% of all Texas elementary schools for serving high-achieving students. However, this success is not mirrored across all areas. The school shows a dramatic split in math performance—4th graders achieve a 76.62% proficiency rate, far above the state average, while 3rd graders lag at 40.26%, below the state average. Additionally, the school operates with a lean budget of $9,120 per student and a high student-teacher ratio of 18:1, the highest among nearby schools like Dunaway Elementary and Wilemon Steam Academy. This may impact resources and class sizes. On a positive note, 5th-grade science scores are a bright spot, with 39.13% of students proficient, significantly exceeding the state average of 29.57%.

Compared to its neighbors in the higher-performing Midlothian Independent School District (Isd) and Grandview Independent School District (Isd), Kirkpatrick Elementary is a solid but middle-of-the-pack school. While it excels with its Gifted and Talented students, it struggles to serve other subgroups, including students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school’s overall ranking has been volatile over the past decade, but its recent 3-star rating (65th percentile) reflects a recent uptick. For parents, this school offers a world-class program for high achievers and strong science instruction, but may present challenges for students needing more support in early math or those in larger classes.
