Summary

Wedgeworth Elementary is a K-5 school in Waxahachie, TX, serving 594 students within the Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd).

Wedgeworth has experienced a significant decline over the past decade, dropping from a high point in the 2016-2017 school year to a 2-star rating (31st percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. The school's most critical weakness is in mathematics, where proficiency rates are alarmingly low across all grades—for example, only 23.81% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 36.7% districtwide and 44.33% statewide. This is a multi-year trend, with 3rd-grade math proficiency hovering between 21% and 28% for the last four years. In contrast, nearby Wilemon Steam Academy (78th percentile) and Felty Elementary (64th percentile) achieve near or above state averages in math. Reading scores tell a more complex story: while 3rd-grade reading proficiency was just 34.38%, it rose to 50% in 4th grade and 61.54% in 5th grade—actually exceeding both district and state averages. This suggests the school is effective at accelerating reading growth for older students, a pattern not seen in math.

The school serves a high-poverty student body (62.46% receiving free or reduced lunch), and its per-student spending ($9,979) is comparable to higher-performing peers like Wilemon Steam Academy ($10,123) and Felty Elementary ($10,013), indicating that resource allocation, not just funding, may need reassessment. A bright spot is the school's "Gifted and Talented" program, which ranked in the 43rd percentile statewide—the only subgroup to achieve a ranking above the 30th percentile in recent years. However, English Language Learners face significant challenges, with 0% of 5th graders proficient in Reading (STAAR Spanish) and 0% of 3rd graders proficient in Math (STAAR Spanish). The closest school, Northside Elementary (1.23 miles away), has a similar demographic profile and low ranking (26th percentile), suggesting these challenges may be neighborhood-wide rather than unique to Wedgeworth.
