Summary

Oliver Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Stamford Independent School District (Isd), serving 295 students in a high-poverty area where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a notable decline in recent years, dropping from a high ranking in the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2020-2021 to a low of the 21st percentile (1 star) in 2024-2025, before a slight recovery to the 34th percentile (2 stars) in the most recent data. This "V-shaped" pattern suggests the school may be stabilizing after post-pandemic disruptions and could be on an upward trajectory.

A critical weakness at Oliver Elementary is mathematics performance, which is consistently and severely below state averages. In the most recent data, only 20.45% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 49.28%. This is a stark contrast to Haskell Elementary, located just 14.68 miles away in the Haskell Consolidated Independent School District, where 65% of 5th graders were proficient in math in the same year. Haskell achieves better results despite having a similar poverty rate (73.65%) and spending less per student ($11,443 vs. Oliver's $14,181), highlighting that Oliver's challenges are not solely due to socioeconomic factors.

Interestingly, Oliver Elementary shows a "5th Grade Bump," where 5th graders consistently outperform 3rd and 4th graders in both reading and math. In 2025-2026, 5th-grade math (47.5%) was the only grade level to meet or exceed the state average, while 4th-grade math (20.45%) was the lowest. This suggests a particularly effective 5th-grade teaching team or significant academic growth between 4th and 5th grade. The school's performance with at-risk subgroups is mixed, with historically strong results for "At Risk" students (53rd percentile in 2021-2022) but very poor recent performance for "Low Socio-Economic Status" students (17th percentile in 2024-2025), indicating that support systems may not be reliably effective year-over-year.
