Summary

Percy W Neblett Elementary is a K-5 school in the Sherman Independent School District (Isd) serving 462 students, and it has experienced a sharp academic decline in recent years, now ranking in the bottom 7th percentile of Texas elementary schools.

The most pressing concern for parents is the school's dramatic drop in performance, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are roughly half the district average. For example, only about 18% of 3rd graders met math standards in the most recent data. This decline is systemic, affecting every student group, and stands in stark contrast to nearby Dillingham Elementary, which serves a similar high-poverty population but has shown much stronger recent results—for instance, 35% of 3rd graders at Dillingham met math standards compared to Neblett's 18%. While Neblett once had a bright spot in 5th-grade science, that advantage has also faded. On a positive note, the school has historically served its Gifted and Talented students very well, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide in 2022-2023, suggesting effective strategies for high-achieving learners that are not yet reaching the broader student body.

Despite these challenges, Neblett offers some notable resources. It has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio in the area at 9.6:1, meaning smaller class sizes than most nearby schools, and its per-student spending is higher than many peers in the district. However, this investment has not yet translated into academic gains, raising questions about how resources are being used. For parents considering this school, it is important to know that while the school is investing heavily in small classes and has pockets of success with advanced learners, the overall academic trajectory is a significant concern that warrants close attention and active engagement with school leadership.
