Summary

Annie Sims Elementary is a K-4 public school in Mount Pleasant, TX, serving 508 students as part of the Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years, placing it in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools.

This school stands out for its remarkable ability to help students from low-income backgrounds succeed academically. With about 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Annie Sims ranks in the 94th to 96th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with these students—a truly exceptional achievement. The school consistently outperforms both district and state averages on STAAR tests, especially in math. For example, 4th grade math proficiency reached 65.22%, compared to the district's 50.3% and the state's 49.28%. This success is supported by a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which allows for more individualized attention. Compared to nearby schools like Frances Corprew Elementary and Vivian Fowler Elementary, which have higher poverty rates and higher per-student spending yet lower results, Annie Sims demonstrates that it uses its resources effectively to close achievement gaps.

While Annie Sims excels at lifting up students facing challenges, it has room to grow in serving its highest-achieving students, ranking in the 22nd percentile for Gifted and Talented programs. Additionally, its Spanish reading support shows variability, with strong results in 3rd grade but a drop in 4th grade. Overall, this school is a clear academic leader in the area, outperforming peers like E C Brice Elementary in nearly every subject. For parents seeking a school that prioritizes equity and consistent growth, Annie Sims is a standout choice.
