Summary

Scharbauer Elementary in Midland, TX, is a PK-6 school serving 579 students in a suburban area of the Midland Independent School District (Isd) that has achieved a remarkable academic turnaround, jumping from the 4th percentile statewide to the 70th percentile in just two years.

This school's most striking feature is its unprecedented improvement. After ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools for years, Scharbauer now earns a 4-star rating, a feat driven by exceptional performance in upper elementary math. In 2025-2026, 73% of 4th graders and 64% of 5th graders were proficient in math, significantly outpacing district averages and nearby schools like Jones Elementary (39% and 36%) and Henderson Elementary (23% and 29%). Even the consistently strong Greathouse Elementary (55% and 56%) is outperformed in 4th-grade math. This "4th grade bump" suggests a particularly effective teaching team or curriculum at that grade level. The school also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 81st percentile for this subgroup—a standout achievement that indicates targeted, effective interventions are in place.

What makes this turnaround even more compelling is that it benefits every student group. Between 2023-2024 and 2025-2026, all subgroups saw massive gains in their statewide percentile ranks, showing the improvement is systemic. Interestingly, Scharbauer achieves these results with lower spending per student ($9,023) than lower-performing peers like Jones ($12,267) and Henderson ($11,218), suggesting effective resource management. While the school's history includes volatility, the current trajectory is dynamic and promising. For parents considering schools in the area, Scharbauer offers a powerful story of positive change and a learning environment that is rapidly closing gaps and exceeding expectations.
