Coleman Elementary has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools, with its state percentile dropping from the 20th to the 27th percentile over the last three years.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture. In the 2025-2026 school year, 4th-grade Reading proficiency (54%) slightly exceeded the state average (53.04%), making it a relative bright spot. However, 3rd-grade Reading (37.78%) lagged behind the state (51.08%) by over 13 points. Mathematics is a significant concern, with only 24.44% of 3rd graders and 34% of 4th graders proficient, compared to state averages of 44.33% and 49.28%, respectively. This math gap has persisted across multiple years, indicating a systemic challenge. Year-over-year performance is inconsistent, with 3rd-grade Reading dropping and 4th-grade Reading improving sharply, which may reflect the impact of different student cohorts or teaching changes in a small school.
