Summary

Eddie Ruth Lagway Elementary is a K-5 school in the Willis Independent School District (Isd) serving 779 students, and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top quarter of Texas elementary schools. This is especially impressive because the Willis ISD itself ranks in the 34th percentile statewide, making Lagway a standout school within its district. In fact, Lagway outperforms every other Willis ISD elementary school in every grade and subject tested, and it even beats several nearby schools in the higher-ranked Conroe Independent School District (Isd). For example, Lagway’s 4th-grade Reading proficiency was significantly higher than that of Anderson Elementary, Houston Elementary, and Giesinger Elementary.

Lagway has shown exceptional strength in specific areas. Its 5th-grade Science scores are a standout, with 50% of students proficient in 2024-2025—more than double the district average. The school also has a consistent math advantage, with 4th-grade Math proficiency nearly 19 percentage points higher than the district average. Perhaps most notably, Lagway has been exceptionally effective at serving its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 95th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. While the school cannot match the elite performance of nearby Stewart Elementary (a top-1% school), Lagway’s achievements are more impressive given its student demographics, with nearly 40% of students economically disadvantaged compared to Stewart’s 9%.

However, the 2025-2026 school year saw a notable dip in performance, with the overall rank falling from the 88th to the 74th percentile. This decline was most dramatic for students from low socio-economic status backgrounds and African American students, suggesting a challenge in maintaining support for these groups. Additionally, Multi-racial students have consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile in recent years. Despite these recent challenges, Lagway’s sustained 4-star rating and its ability to outperform many schools in wealthier districts make it a strong choice for families in the Conroe area.
