Summary:

While Packsaddle Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (54.36%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the district and state in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade and ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, between 3,000-4,000 out of over 4,600 schools. Packsaddle Elementary also struggles to support its student subgroups, with lower rankings for female students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs compared to state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Llano Elementary, Colt Elementary, and Marble Falls Elementary, generally outperform Packsaddle Elementary in academic achievement, school rankings, and student subgroup performance. Despite spending more per student ($11,557 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Packsaddle Elementary has not seen significant improvement in its academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school.
