Despite having a diverse student population, with 36.45% White, 27.1% African American, and 25.86% Hispanic students, Albert C Williams Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2981 and 4218 out of around 4,600 schools over the past several years. The school's performance rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status, are also quite low, all ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.5% to 42% across the different grade levels and subject areas.
Compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Commerce Elementary, Lamar Elementary, and Carver Elementary, Albert C Williams Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and student group rankings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 75% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its low spending per student (around $13,000 per student), may be contributing factors to its poor performance. The consistently low performance across multiple student subgroups suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of these populations.
