Summary

Sheppard Afb Elementary in Wichita Falls, TX, is a public school located on Sheppard Air Force Base that serves 312 students in grades PK through 6, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd).

This school consistently ranks in the top 15% of all Texas elementary schools, with recent rankings in the 90th percentile statewide. Its academic performance is dramatically higher than both the district and state averages—for example, in 6th Grade Math, the school achieved a 70.59% proficiency rate compared to the district's 32.03% and the state's 38.57%. This pattern of outperforming the state by 20-30 percentage points is consistent across all grade levels and subjects. The school also has an extremely low economic disadvantage rate (18.59% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch), which contrasts sharply with surrounding schools where rates typically range from 50% to 95%. Notably, Burgess Elementary, which ranks in the bottom 5% of the state, spends significantly more per student ($13,598) compared to Sheppard Afb's $9,836, highlighting the school's financial efficiency.

While the school excels overall, its support for Special Education students shows inconsistency, with rankings fluctuating from the 98th percentile to the 34th percentile in recent years. Sheppard Afb is also the only elementary school in the area that serves 6th grade, allowing students to remain in a familiar, high-performing environment for an additional year before transitioning to middle school. The school's unique demographic profile—serving children of military personnel and civilian employees—creates a stable, resourced learning environment that contributes to its sustained excellence, making it a standout option compared to other area schools like Fain Elementary and Southern Hills Elementary, which rank in the bottom third of the state.
