Liberty Elementary excels in personalized learning with the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (13.9:1) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (5%). However, Bransford Elementary presents a paradox: despite the highest per-student spending ($10,611), it has the lowest state ranking (84th percentile) and test scores, particularly in math (58.4% average).
Key metrics show enrollment ranges from 414 (Liberty) to 567 (Glenhope), with all schools maintaining favorable student-to-teacher ratios (13.9-15.8:1). Mathematics is the primary differentiator, with top schools averaging over 80% proficiency versus Bransford's 58.4%. The data underscores that district reputation alone is insufficient—GCISD schools range from the 84th to 98th percentile, while Liberty Elementary in KISD outperforms its district significantly. For parents, Glenhope and Taylor offer the most consistent excellence, while Colleyville shows strong upward momentum, and Liberty provides a uniquely intimate learning environment.
