Summary

Smithville Elementary in Smithville, TX, serves 694 students in grades 1-5 within the Smithville Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 40th percentile statewide. This mid-sized school offers a stable, middle-of-the-pack option in a region of stark contrasts, outperforming struggling schools like Red Rock Elementary and Lost Pines Elementary in the Bastrop Independent School District (Isd), but not reaching the heights of higher-ranked districts like La Grange Independent School District (Isd).

Smithville Elementary's greatest strength is its exceptional program for Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide—well above its overall 50th percentile rank. The school also shines in 5th-grade mathematics, where its proficiency rate (48.99%) tops all nearby comparable schools and exceeds the state average. However, the school faces notable challenges, including a persistent gender gap where female students outperform male students, and significant struggles with specific student groups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, though the latter has shown recent improvement. Additionally, 5th-grade science is a weak spot, with proficiency rates (20.61%) well below the state average (29.57%) and significantly lower than Giddings Intermediate (40.31%).

Interestingly, Smithville Elementary spends significantly more per student ($16,046) than any nearby school—nearly $5,000 more than the next highest spender—yet this investment does not translate into top-tier overall rankings. The school's performance history shows a dramatic spike to its highest-ever rank (75th percentile) during the 2020-2021 school year, followed by a sharp decline and stabilization in the 40-50th percentile range. For parents, this school offers a reliable, average education with a standout GT program and strong early-grade math, but families should be aware of the achievement gaps and consider how the school's resources might be better allocated to address them.
