Summary:
In zip code 78152, serving the Saint Hedwig area, there is a single elementary school, Tradition Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 with 561 students and is part of the East Central Independent School District (Isd).
Tradition Elementary is a school on a clear upward trajectory, having improved its state ranking from the 11th percentile three years ago to the 28th percentile in the most recent school year. This consistent climb suggests recent efforts are paying off. The school's strongest area is 5th Grade Reading, where 50% of students are now proficient. However, a critical weakness exists in 5th Grade Science, where only 15.79% of students were proficient in the prior year—a figure well below the state average. The school also faces a persistent "math gap," with average math proficiency (33.68%) trailing the state average by over 13 percentage points. With 60.25% of students economically disadvantaged and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1, the school is working to translate its resources into stronger academic outcomes.
Compared to its district, Tradition Elementary shows a mixed performance. It outperforms the district in 3rd and 5th Grade Reading but consistently underperforms in Mathematics across all grades, indicating a district-wide challenge that is more acute at this school. The school's per-student spending of $9,362 is a key resource, and the upward trend in ranking is a positive sign that instructional strategies may be starting to yield results. For parents, this school offers a dedicated community with improving test scores, but with clear areas needing attention, particularly in math and science.
