Academically, Lacoste Elementary's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science generally perform at or above the district and state averages, though the school's 5th-grade STAAR Science proficiency rate (25.17%) was lower than the district (29.2%) and state (26.29%) averages in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 963 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,781 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, though it maintains an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Lacoste Elementary serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.22% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, which may contribute to its consistent academic performance and provide more individualized attention and support for its students.
