Axtell Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15-18% of all Texas elementary schools over the past three years. Its 2025-2026 rank of 704 out of 4,627 schools places it in the 85th percentile. The school significantly outperforms the state average in nearly every tested subject, particularly in Reading, where 4th graders achieved over 80% proficiency in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. Science is also a major strength, with 5th graders scoring 47.46% proficient in 2024-2025, nearly 18 points above the state average. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 13:1, suggesting smaller class sizes, and per-student spending is $11,274. However, 54.47% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating moderate economic diversity.
While the school excels overall, there are a few areas to note. Mathematics shows some inconsistency: 3rd graders improved dramatically from below the state average in 2024-2025 to well above it in 2025-2026, while 5th-grade math remains a relative weakness, with only 50% proficiency in 2025-2026. Additionally, Axtell Elementary is a standout within its district, Axtell Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 38th percentile statewide. This gap suggests the elementary school is the strongest academic performer in the district, making it a key asset for families considering the area.
