Summary:
The city of Haslet, Texas is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade, all of which are part of the Northwest Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 244 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating, the data reveals significant performance differences among the elementary schools in Haslet.
Two schools stand out as the top performers: Haslet Elementary and Carl E. Schluter Elementary. Both schools consistently rank in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, with strong test scores that exceed the district and state averages in reading, math, and science. These high-performing schools also have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent student population. In contrast, J.C. Thompson Elementary and Sendera Ranch Elementary struggle in comparison, with significantly lower proficiency rates, especially in math and science.
Interestingly, the performance differences between the schools do not appear to be driven by funding levels, as the schools have relatively similar spending per student. Additionally, all four schools have favorable student-teacher ratios, ranging from 14.3 to 15.1, indicating that class size is not a significant factor in the performance differences. The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic outcomes, with the higher-performing schools serving a more affluent student population.
