Summary

Jean Coleman Elementary is a top-performing PK-5 school in Midlothian, TX, serving 671 students as part of the highly-rated Midlothian Independent School District (Isd). The school has earned a 5-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 92nd percentile among all Texas elementary schools—a significant improvement from its 4-star, 83rd percentile ranking just two years prior. With a healthy student-to-teacher ratio of about 16:1 and only 20% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Jean Coleman stands out as the highest-performing school in its immediate vicinity, outpacing nearby schools like Larue Miller Elementary (90th percentile) and Dolores McClatchey Elementary (85th percentile).

What truly sets Jean Coleman apart is its exceptional and rapidly improving support for all students. The school ranks in the 93rd percentile for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, a dramatic leap from the 65th percentile just one year prior, suggesting highly effective strategies to ensure equity. Similarly, its Hispanic student population performs in the 96th percentile statewide, far exceeding other district schools where this subgroup often faces challenges. The school also shows consistent excellence in 5th Grade Science, with proficiency rates that have steadily outpaced both district and state averages over the last three years. While a dip in 5th-grade math in 2024-2025 was quickly corrected with a strong rebound to 69% proficiency in 2025-2026, the performance of multi-racial students has been more volatile, dropping to the 49th percentile in 2024-2025 before recovering to the 79th percentile—a point worth monitoring.

Jean Coleman’s upward trajectory is particularly striking when compared to J A Vitovsky Elementary, another school in the same district just three miles away. While Jean Coleman has a 20% free/reduced lunch rate and a 92nd percentile rank, Vitovsky has a 62% free/reduced lunch rate and a 55th percentile rank, highlighting how socioeconomic factors can influence school performance. Jean Coleman’s success with its own low SES students is even more impressive in this context. Even compared to its closest rival, Larue Miller Elementary, Jean Coleman holds a clear edge in overall ranking while serving a more diverse student body, making it a powerful choice for families seeking a school that is both high-performing and rapidly improving.
