Summary:
In zip code 76374, there is one elementary school, Olney Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in Olney, Texas, with a total enrollment of 369 students.
Olney Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star state ranking over the last three years, placing it near the 50th percentile among Texas elementary schools. The school is part of the Olney Independent School District (Isd), which itself earns a strong 4-star rating and ranks in the 75th percentile statewide. A notable strength is the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 and above-average per-student spending of $13,299, which suggests a supportive environment with potential for individualized attention. However, these resources have not yet translated into above-average test scores, as the school's overall academic performance remains at the state average.
Looking at recent test scores, the most significant concern is a sharp decline in 3rd-grade reading proficiency, dropping from 60% in 2024-2025 to just 39.22% in 2025-2026. In contrast, 5th-grade reading (66.67%) and math (53.85%) are bright spots, outperforming state averages. Math remains a consistent weakness across all grades, particularly in 4th grade where scores hover around 38%. A standout achievement is 5th-grade science, which at 47.46% proficiency in 2024-2025 was nearly 18 percentage points above the state average. Overall, Olney Elementary offers a well-resourced, small-class environment with some strong upper-grade performance, but faces challenges in early reading and consistent math achievement.
