Summary:
In zip code 77360, there is one elementary school, Onalaska Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade in the Onalaska, Texas area.
Onalaska Elementary is part of the Onalaska Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 57th percentile among Texas districts. The school itself has maintained a consistent 3-star state ranking over the past three years, though its percentile rank has slightly declined from the 64th to the 58th percentile. With 704 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1, the school demonstrates notable strengths in 3rd and 6th grade reading and math, where it outperforms state averages. However, it faces significant challenges in 4th and 5th grade math, with proficiency rates falling well below state benchmarks—most notably in 4th grade math at 35.16% compared to the state's 49.28%.
A key finding is the extreme volatility in 5th grade math scores, which dropped from 66% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 39.76% in 2025-2026, suggesting a need for investigation into curriculum or cohort changes. Despite nearly 70% of students being economically disadvantaged, the school performs at or above state averages in several areas, indicating resilience and effective support for students facing challenges. Science scores (5th grade) are essentially tied with the state average at 29%, presenting a potential area for growth. Overall, Onalaska Elementary is a solid, average-performing school with clear strengths in early and late elementary grades but requires targeted intervention in middle elementary math to improve consistency and student outcomes.
