Ranked lists of the top traditional open enrollment elementary schools, top magnet elementary schools and top charter elementary schools in Texas are shown on this Texas best elementary schools page. Like the middle school analysis, all of these rankings are based on results of the 2017 STAAR evaluations and no subjective or other factors that have no meaningful linkage to the learning success of individual students were not considered.
