Summary

Waskom Elementary in Waskom, TX, serves 370 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Waskom Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the bottom quarter of Texas schools.

Waskom Elementary is a school with notable strengths and significant challenges. Its most consistent bright spot is in 4th grade mathematics, where 54.35% of students were proficient in the most recent testing year, outperforming the state average and all nearby schools. However, the school faces a critical weakness in 3rd grade, where only 14.29% of students were proficient in reading and 20% in math—the lowest scores among all nearby schools and drastically below state averages. This "3rd grade cliff" suggests that students are not building a solid academic foundation early on. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($10,196) than nearby high-performing schools like Sam Houston Elementary ($9,049) and Elysian Fields Elementary ($9,795), indicating that funding alone is not the solution.

When compared to nearby schools, Waskom sits in the middle of a low-performing region. It significantly outperforms Price T Young Elementary and Crockett Elementary (both at the 1st percentile), but trails far behind Sam Houston Elementary (94th percentile), a school with a similar poverty rate that achieves dramatically better results. The school's support for special education and English language learners has also declined recently. To improve, Waskom must look to nearby models like Sam Houston to understand how to achieve high performance with a similar student demographic and urgently address its foundational skills gap in 3rd grade.
