Summary:
Zip code 79121 is home to a single school, Sleepy Hollow Elementary, a public PK-5 school serving 519 students within the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd), which is rated as an average 3-star district statewide.
Sleepy Hollow Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently earning 4- and 5-star ratings from the state and ranking in the 83rd to 91st percentile in recent years. It significantly outperforms both its district and the state of Texas in Reading and Mathematics across all tested grades. For example, in the most recent data, 4th graders achieved an 88.61% proficiency rate in Reading, far exceeding district and state averages. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 14.9 and a relatively low rate of economic disadvantage, with only 30.83% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Despite its overall strength, the data reveals notable areas of concern. Mathematics scores saw a sharp decline from the previous year, with 3rd grade proficiency dropping from 77.5% to 53.42%. Additionally, 5th grade Science proficiency (32.61%) is a relative weakness compared to the school's own Reading and Math scores. While Sleepy Hollow Elementary is a clear standout in an average district, these trends suggest that targeted support in upper elementary Math and Science could further enhance its already strong academic profile.
