Summary

Onalaska Elementary in Onalaska, TX, serves 704 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade in a rural setting and is a clear academic standout in a region where many nearby schools struggle. As part of the Onalaska Independent School District (Isd), the school ranks in the 58th percentile statewide, making it the highest-performing elementary school in its immediate area. For context, nearby schools like Lansberry Elementary and Goodrich Elementary rank in the bottom 30th percentile, while Timber Creek Elementary and Cedar Grove Elementary in Livingston ISD are more competitive but still trail Onalaska's overall performance.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its 6th-grade program, which is uncommon for elementary schools in the area. Onalaska's 6th graders outperform the state average in both Reading (56.57% proficient vs. 53.52%) and Math (48.98% proficient vs. 38.57%), showing the school effectively prepares students for the transition to middle school. However, there is a notable "dip" in math performance for 4th and 5th graders, who have scored below state averages for the past two years. This suggests a potential gap in the upper elementary math curriculum that parents may want to ask about. Additionally, while the school's 5th-grade science scores match the state average, they have not yet exceeded it, indicating room for growth in that subject.

Onalaska Elementary achieves its strong results while spending less per student ($10,376) than many lower-performing neighbors, such as Lansberry Elementary ($11,912) and Coldspring Intermediate ($11,954), highlighting its fiscal efficiency. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1, which is lower than most comparable schools in the region. While the school serves a student body where about 68-73% are economically disadvantaged, its overall performance has been on a slight downward trend since 2021, with declining scores for its largest student groups. Parents should note that the school excels with its Multi-Racial students but faces challenges supporting its Special Education population, which ranks in the bottom 25-37% of the state.
