Austin Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 77th percentile statewide, with test scores significantly above district and state averages.

Rise Academy is a unique alternative high school with 75 students, recording 0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I Reading, suggesting it serves students with significant academic needs. Weatherford High School is a large, stable institution with a 95.5% graduation rate and consistent 3-star rating, while Hall Middle shows a strong advanced math program with 88.37% proficiency in Algebra I but a sharp decline in 7th-grade math proficiency to 13.61%.
A key finding is the wide socioeconomic divide among elementary schools, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 34.55% at Austin Elementary to 70.28% at Ikard Elementary, which strongly correlates with performance. Per-student spending varies from $8,540 at Hall Middle to $12,865 at Seguin Elementary, yet higher spending does not guarantee higher test scores. Additionally, Spanish-language STAAR test proficiency at Wright Elementary and Ikard Elementary is dramatically lower than English-language scores, highlighting challenges in supporting English Language Learners.
