Summary:
Zip code 76462 is home to a single elementary school, Lipan Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 in the Lipan Independent School District (Isd) and has a total enrollment of 229 students.
Lipan Elementary is a standout for its strong reading performance, particularly in 5th grade where 80.56% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding the state average of 58.47%. The school also showed a remarkable strength in 3rd-grade math during the 2024-2025 school year, with 79.49% proficiency—34.61 percentage points above the state average. However, this was followed by a significant drop to 53.66% proficiency the next year, highlighting some volatility. Science is another bright spot, with 5th graders achieving 45.16% proficiency compared to the state's 29.57%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1 is lower than the national average, allowing for more individualized attention, and 55.9% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Despite these strengths, there are areas of concern. Upper-grade math performance is a notable weakness, with 5th-grade math proficiency at just 33.33% in 2025-2026, creating a 47.23 percentage point gap compared to reading. The school's state ranking has also declined for two consecutive years, from the 77th percentile to the 67th percentile, suggesting that while it remains above average, other schools are improving faster. Overall, Lipan Elementary offers a strong foundation in reading and science with small class sizes, but parents should be aware of the challenges in upper-grade math and the recent downward trend in state rankings.
