Summary:
In zip code 77480, there is one elementary school, Sweeny Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in the Sweeny, Texas area, which is part of the Sweeny Independent School District (Isd).
Sweeny Elementary has shown a clear upward trend in its statewide ranking over the last three years, moving from the 30th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026. The school has a total enrollment of 869 students, a student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1, and per-student spending of $11,253. A notable strength is in mathematics, where 3rd and 4th graders significantly outperformed the state average in 2025-2026 (49.53% vs. 44.33% in 3rd grade, and 55.26% vs. 49.28% in 4th grade). However, reading proficiency is a concern, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, where scores fell well below the state average (46.09% vs. 53.04% in 4th grade, and 37.9% vs. 58.47% in 5th grade).
The most significant challenge is a dramatic performance drop in 5th grade, where only 37.9% of students were proficient in both reading and math in 2025-2026. While the school's overall ranking is improving, the reading deficit in upper grades is a countervailing trend that may require targeted intervention. With 55.24% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a community with moderate economic need, and its resources appear reasonable given the student-teacher ratio and spending per student.
