New Home Elementary is a standout school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 15% of all Texas elementary schools (86th percentile).

The school serves 365 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, allowing for more individualized attention. Academically, the school consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests in both Reading and Mathematics across all tested grades (3rd through 5th).

Only 13.7% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a very low rate that indicates a relatively affluent student body.
While the school excels overall, a potential area for focus is 3rd-grade Reading, where proficiency (59.57%) is the school's lowest, though still above the state average (51.08%). This represents a notable drop compared to the school's own 4th and 5th-grade reading scores (70.91% and 71.88%), suggesting a possible "3rd-grade slump" that could benefit from targeted early literacy support. Overall, New Home Elementary offers a high-quality, well-resourced educational environment with small class sizes and strong academic results, making it an excellent choice for families in the area.
