Summary

Selman Elementary in Sealy, TX, is a PK-5 public school in the Sealy Independent School District (Isd) serving 749 students, with 74.23% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking in the 16th percentile statewide—a significant decline from its 3-star peak in 2018-2019.

The most striking feature of Selman Elementary is its stark underperformance compared to Sealy Elementary, located just 1.95 miles away in the same district. While Selman ranks in the 16th percentile, Sealy Elementary ranks in the 80th percentile (4-star rating), with consistent gaps across all subjects—for example, in 3rd grade math, only 30.8% of Selman students were proficient versus 70.8% at Sealy. This suggests the district has the capacity for high performance, but Selman is not achieving it. Even when compared to a peer school with similar demographics, Royal Elementary in Royal Independent School District (Isd) (75.9% low-income), Selman performs worse in nearly every subject—for instance, 4th grade math proficiency is 26.7% at Selman versus 47.7% at Royal, pointing to school-specific instructional or leadership issues rather than just demographic factors.

One notable anomaly is the school's performance with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who ranked in the 66th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting a program or teachers that effectively challenge high-achieving students—a potential area to replicate across other programs. However, the school faces troubling trends, including alarmingly low Spanish-language STAAR results, such as 0% proficiency in 5th grade math, and a steep decline for low-socioeconomic status students, whose ranking dropped to the 11th percentile. Overall, Selman has not recovered from pandemic-era disruptions and has seen a steady downward trajectory since 2018-2019, contrasting sharply with its in-district rival, Sealy Elementary, which has maintained high rankings over the same period.
