Summary:
In zip code 77455, there is one elementary school, Louise Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in the rural community of Louise, Texas, as part of the Louise Independent School District (Isd).
Louise Elementary is a standout for its remarkable academic turnaround. The school has climbed from the 47th percentile in state rankings in 2023-2024 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it among the top 13% of elementary schools in Texas. This rapid improvement is especially notable given that nearly 70% of its 273 students are economically disadvantaged. The school's 4th-grade mathematics performance is exceptional, with 91.43% of students proficient in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average. With a low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 and per-student spending of $10,597, the school appears to be using its resources effectively to drive academic gains.
However, the data reveals some areas of concern. Performance varies significantly by grade and subject; for instance, 3rd-grade reading proficiency (50%) lags behind the state average, while 5th-grade science proficiency was critically low at just 18.92% in 2024-2025. There is also notable year-over-year volatility, such as 4th-grade reading dropping from 74.29% to 50% between school years, which may reflect small class sizes or staffing changes. Overall, Louise Elementary shows strong momentum in math and overall ranking, but parents should be aware of the inconsistent performance across grades and the need for improvement in science instruction.
