Summary

Kay Granger Elementary is a PK-5 school in Keller, TX, serving 637 students as part of the Northwest Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently outperforms district and state averages in Reading and Mathematics across all tested grades, making it a standout choice for families. For example, in the most recent school year, Kay Granger's 5th-grade Reading proficiency (71.15%) was nearly 21 points higher than nearby O A Peterson (50.57%). The school also boasts an exceptional 7th-grade Math program, with 100% of its students achieving proficiency for three consecutive years—a remarkable 60+ point advantage over district and state averages.

Kay Granger serves a relatively affluent community, with only 21.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This is significantly lower than nearby schools like Caprock Elementary (58.88%), which is just 0.61 miles away but in the Keller Independent School District (Isd). Despite being in a slightly lower-ranked district, Kay Granger outperforms most of its Keller ISD neighbors, including Ridgeview Elementary, Eagle Ridge Elementary, Freedom Elementary, Woodland Springs Elementary, and Caprock. It is only bested by top-tier Keller ISD schools like Keller-Harvel Elementary and Bette Perot Elementary.

While Kay Granger has a strong historical track record, its statewide ranking has declined from the 94th percentile in 2019 to the 79th percentile in the most recent data. The school is exceptionally effective with Hispanic students, ranking in the 83rd percentile, but struggles with African American students, who ranked in the 9th percentile. Additionally, a curious pattern emerges in 5th-grade Math: nearby Keller ISD schools often exceed 90% proficiency, while Kay Granger's rate is a more modest 58.49%, suggesting a systemic difference in curriculum or testing practices between the two districts.
