Summary

Orangefield Elementary is a PK-5 public school serving 828 students in the small, rural community of Orangefield, TX, and is the sole elementary school within the Orangefield Independent School District (Isd), which is rated as a 4-star district.

Orangefield Elementary stands out as a top-performing school in the region, achieving a 4-star state ranking in the 78th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This is dramatically higher than many nearby schools, such as West Orange-Stark Elementary (12th percentile), Mauriceville Elementary (22nd percentile), and Vidor Elementary (15th percentile). The school also demonstrates exceptional success with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for this group. A key differentiator is the school's low free/reduced lunch rate of 32.85%, which is roughly half the rate of neighboring schools like Mauriceville (68.44%) and Vidor (67.05%), indicating a community with strong economic stability. Furthermore, Orangefield Elementary achieves these high results while spending less per student ($8,344) than most of its lower-performing neighbors, showcasing efficient resource management.

While the school excels overall, there are notable internal patterns. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround for its Special Education students, jumping from the 44th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting effective new interventions. However, a recurring "5th Grade Math Slump" is evident, with math proficiency dropping from 68.94% in 4th grade to 47.89% in 5th grade in the 2025-2026 school year, pointing to a potential curriculum gap. Additionally, while the school performs exceptionally well with Hispanic students, its White students rank in only the 53rd percentile, indicating a need for differentiated instructional approaches for this group.
