Summary

Dolores McClatchey Elementary in Ovilla, TX, is a high-performing PK-5 school serving 605 students within the Midlothian Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 4-star state rating and standing out as the top school in its immediate area.

McClatchey’s standout strength is mathematics, where 5th-grade proficiency rates reach 76.58%—far exceeding the district average of 57.61% and the state average of 47.38%. This is a 19-point lead over the district and notably higher than nearby Longbranch Elementary, which scored 63.16% in the same category. Science is another consistent bright spot, with 5th-grade proficiency nearly double the state average. However, parents should note a recurring "4th-grade math dip," where proficiency drops to 46.23%, below both district and state averages, suggesting a potential curriculum transition issue. The school also shows remarkable progress with its Special Education students, who jumped from the 52nd percentile to the 82nd percentile in just two years, and its low-socioeconomic-status students, who now perform well above state averages.

An interesting comparison is with Cedar Hill Collegiate Prep, a school in the lower-ranked Cedar Hill Independent School District (Isd). Despite having a more economically disadvantaged student body (45.77% free/reduced lunch vs. McClatchey’s 16.36%), less funding per student, and larger class sizes, Collegiate Prep achieves the same 85th percentile state ranking. This highlights that McClatchey’s success is supported by its affluent community, while Collegiate Prep demonstrates exceptional efficiency with fewer resources. Overall, McClatchey offers a strong academic environment with targeted strengths in math and science, though families should be aware of the 4th-grade math challenge.
