Summary

Ramey Elementary in Tyler, TX, serves 517 students in grades PK-5 within the Tyler Independent School District (Isd) and is located in an area where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting very high economic need.

Ramey Elementary is currently the most improved school in its area, showing a dramatic upward trajectory that sets it apart from nearby schools. After years of low performance, the school jumped from the 13th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This rapid improvement is especially notable when compared to schools like Griffin Elementary, Douglas Elementary, Orr Elementary, T J Austin Elementary, and Peete Elementary, which have remained stagnant or declined. Ramey’s most powerful achievement is its exceptional performance with low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for this group—a massive leap from the 25th percentile just two years prior. This far surpasses high-poverty peers like T.J. Austin (5th percentile overall) and Peete (12th percentile), proving that high poverty does not have to mean low performance.

In the most recent testing year, Ramey’s 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 68.49% was the highest among all comparable nearby elementary schools, significantly exceeding district (50.96%) and state (49.28%) averages. This is a remarkable outlier for a high-need school. While the school has made impressive gains in reading and math, science remains a challenge, with only 23.17% of 5th graders proficient—though this is an improvement from 6% the prior year. The contrast with Caldwell Arts Academy, a high-performing magnet school with a much lower poverty rate (49.84%), is striking: Ramey now nearly matches Caldwell in 4th-grade math (68.49% vs. 71.43%) while serving a student population facing significantly more challenges. This turnaround suggests effective changes have been implemented, and the next frontier will be replicating this success in science to ensure lasting improvement.
