About Pewitt EL

Pewitt Elementary serves 408 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Omaha, Texas. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — ranking #118 out of 8,547 public schools in Texas. That puts it in the top 1% statewide, outperforming 99% of Texas schools across all grade levels.

The numbers behind that ranking are strong across the board. Growth leads the way at 9.7 out of 10, meaning students here advance well beyond expected learning trajectories — a harder signal than baseline test scores alone. Academics score 8.2 out of 10.

A student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1 keeps class sizes manageable and instruction direct for a campus this size. Pewitt El holds the top spot among the three public schools in Omaha. Among all 4,678 elementary schools in Texas, it ranks #79 — a result that points to consistent, system-wide performance rather than a single strong cohort.

Families comparing elementary options in this part of the state will find few schools that match this combination of growth momentum and academic results.
