Summary:
In zip code 78735, there is one elementary school, Oak Hill Elementary, serving grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade with 617 students as part of the Austin Independent School District (Isd).
Oak Hill Elementary shows a clear academic strength in English-language Reading, consistently outperforming state averages across all tested grades. For example, in 2025-2026, 5th grade Reading proficiency reached 61.25% compared to the state's 58.47%. However, the school struggles significantly in Mathematics, with 4th and 5th grade scores falling below state averages. The school also has a notable bilingual achievement gap, with Spanish-language Reading proficiency far lower than English-language Reading—for instance, only 9.09% of 4th graders achieved proficiency in Spanish Reading versus 58.11% in English. Despite stable test scores, the school's state ranking has declined from the 72nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026, indicating that other schools are improving faster. Science appears to be a hidden strength, with 5th grade Science proficiency at 35.79% in 2024-2025, well above the state's 29.57%.
With a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 and per-student spending of $10,839, the school has reasonable resources. The key takeaway for parents is that Oak Hill Elementary excels in English Reading and Science but needs targeted support in Mathematics and its Spanish-language program. The declining state ranking suggests the school is not keeping pace with statewide improvements, making it important for families to consider these academic trends when evaluating the school's overall performance.
