Summary

Wilhelmina Delco Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd) serving 470 students in the Austin, TX area, where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a sharp decline in overall performance, dropping from the 35th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, making it the most significant negative swing among nearby Pflugerville ISD peers like Wieland Elementary, Copperfield Elementary, and River Oaks Elementary, which all ranked in the 37th-47th percentile range in the same year.

A critical weakness is in mathematics, with only 16.67% of 4th graders and 21.31% of 5th graders proficient on the STAAR exam—roughly half the district average and less than half the state average. This math deficit is more pronounced than at any other nearby school, including Dessau Elementary, the lowest-ranked school in the area. There is also a significant gender achievement gap: the school ranks in the 23rd percentile for female students but in the 4th percentile for male students, the largest such gap among all nearby schools. However, the school shows a unique strength with its African American students, who ranked in the 65th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating.

Interestingly, the school’s bilingual program appears to be a relative strength. In 2025-2026, 3rd graders scored 34.78% proficient in English Reading but 36.67% in Spanish Reading, and 4th graders scored 40% in English and 40.54% in Spanish—a pattern that contrasts with district and state averages where English scores are typically higher. Located just 0.16 miles from Dessau Elementary, which has been in the bottom 3% of the state for three consecutive years, Delco has historically outperformed its neighbor despite serving a similarly high-poverty population. Nearby, Basis Pflugerville Pri, a high-performing charter school ranked in the 95th percentile, achieves proficiency rates of 75-85% in reading and math, highlighting the educational inequality in the area.
