Summary

Memorial Elementary is a PK-5 school in Plano, TX, serving 407 students within the Plano Independent School District (Isd). While the district itself is highly rated, Memorial Elementary has faced significant academic challenges, ranking in the 18th percentile statewide (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year. A key factor is that 77.64% of its students are economically disadvantaged, a rate more than double that of nearby high-performing schools like McCall Elementary (37.14%) and Hickey Elementary (36.62%). This high level of poverty correlates strongly with lower test scores, creating a stark contrast with its district peers.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,647) than schools like McCall ($8,870) and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12:1, Memorial’s academic outcomes lag far behind. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency was just 24%, compared to 65.38% at McCall and 70.49% at Hickey. Interestingly, Memorial shares a similar demographic profile with Barron Elementary, located just 0.69 miles away, and both schools rank in the bottom 20th percentile, suggesting systemic challenges in the community they serve. However, Meadows Elementary, with an even higher poverty rate (87.2%), ranks slightly higher (48th percentile), showing that high poverty does not guarantee the lowest performance.

There is a glimmer of hope: English Language Learner (ELL) students at Memorial ranked in the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, a dramatic improvement from the 12th percentile two years prior. This suggests recent interventions may be working for this group. However, performance is inconsistent across grade levels—5th-grade reading proficiency was 58.18%, close to the state average, while 4th-grade reading was just 29.03%. The school’s ranking has also declined sharply in recent years, from the 45th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 18th percentile now, a trend that requires immediate attention from the district.
