May Elementary has seen fluctuating statewide rankings, ranging from 1,443 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 (rated 3 out of 5 stars) to 3,218 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 out of 5 stars), with its current ranking for 2023-2024 at 2,214 out of 4,675 (rated 3 out of 5 stars). While male students have ranked highly, Hispanic students and students with low socioeconomic status have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state average, particularly in reading and science, with only 21.05% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Science in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 26.29%. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at May Elementary, ranging from $10,692 to $13,273 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains below the state average.
Nearby Brownwood ISD schools, such as East Elementary and Northwest Elementary, generally outperform May Elementary on statewide rankings and test scores, despite serving a more diverse student population with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at May Elementary, particularly the low performance of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these student populations to improve overall academic outcomes.
