Wolflin EL

Wolflin Elementary earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — powered by a 9.4 academic score and a 9.6 growth score that signals students are advancing faster than expected regardless of where they start. Among 8,547 public schools in Texas, Wolflin ranks 95th, putting it in the top 1 percent statewide. For families in Amarillo specifically, that standing is even sharper: Wolflin ranks first among all 74 public schools in the city.

The school serves 316 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade with a 13.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio — tight enough to keep instruction personal at every grade level. That ratio, paired with a growth score of 9.6, suggests the school isn't coasting on a narrow band of high performers. It moves all students forward measurably year over year.

Wolflin is a regular public school with no selective enrollment or magnet filters attached to its results. Parents weighing elementary options across the Texas Panhandle will find the combination of near-perfect academic and growth scores rare at this scale. The data makes a straightforward case: this is one of the strongest elementary schools in Texas, and the top-performing school its own city has to offer.
