Summary

Wilemon Steam Academy is a K-5 elementary school in Waxahachie, TX, serving 437 students as part of the Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd).

Wilemon Steam Academy stands out as the highest-performing elementary school in its district, consistently ranking in the 78th to 88th percentile statewide over the past five years. Its academic achievement is notably strong across all subjects and grades, with proficiency rates well above both district and state averages. For example, in 3rd grade reading, Wilemon students achieved a 60.82% proficiency rate compared to the district's 46.04% and the state's 51.08%. The school also excels with specific student groups, including African American students, who have shown remarkable improvement, and special education students, who rank in the 86th percentile. This success is supported by a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 and a low rate of economic disadvantage, with only 22.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. In comparison, nearby schools like Felty Elementary and Shackelford Elementary rank in the 64th and 65th percentiles, respectively, while Northside Elementary and Wedgeworth Elementary rank much lower.

Interestingly, Wilemon's STEAM focus appears to be implemented with far greater success than the biomedical focus at Marvin Biomedical Academy, another magnet school in the district that ranks in the 12th percentile. However, Wilemon faces strong competition from schools in the neighboring Midlothian Independent School District (Isd), such as Larue Miller Elementary (90th percentile) and Longbranch Elementary (86th percentile). While Wilemon has shown consistent excellence with a slight dip in 2024-2025 before rebounding, its performance with White students has been a relative weakness, ranking between the 41st and 61st percentiles in recent years. Overall, the school's strong leadership and data-driven practices make it a top choice for families in the Waxahachie area.
