Mary Evans El, Allen TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mary Evans El

Mary Evans Elementary serves kindergarten through sixth grade in Allen, a suburban community in the northern Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The school is part of Allen ISD, a district that has undergone significant structural changes in recent years, including boundary redistricting and school closures tied to imbalanced growth across its attendance zones.

The school's academic performance across the tested grades is solid. In reading and language arts, proficiency runs consistently in the high range across grades three through six, with students meeting or exceeding state benchmarks at a strong rate. Mathematics proficiency is similarly strong in grades three and four, though it softens somewhat in grade five before recovering in grade six. Science proficiency in grade five is notably lower than the other subjects, at a measurably weaker level; a parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand whether that reflects resource constraints, curriculum pacing, or other factors. Overall, the school's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Collin County districts, indicating performance that stands out regionally.

The student body is demographically diverse, with a substantial share of students identifying as Asian, along with meaningful representation from white, Hispanic, and other backgrounds. The share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch is small, suggesting a student population from generally higher-income households. Special-population enrollment data were not available, so a parent seeking information on services for English learners or students with individualized education programs should inquire directly with the school.

The school has a mid-sized enrollment across its grade band, with numbers relatively balanced across each year. Housing in the 75013 zip code where the school is located is priced in the upper-middle range for the region, and rental costs run moderately above ownership. The affordability picture reflects the broader Dallas-area pattern in which renting is typically less expensive than carrying a mortgage, though both costs remain substantial.

Allen ISD recently passed a major bond in November that will fund full campus renovations at several schools and district-wide technology and security upgrades over the coming years. Every campus, including Mary Evans, will receive some improvements, though the full scope and timeline would be worth confirming with the district. The district has held its property tax rate stable in recent years, which families often view favorably when comparing school costs.

The district also carried out significant boundary changes and school closures beginning in the 2023 school year to manage enrollment imbalances between the east and west sides of its territory. Families living in the school's current attendance zone should confirm current boundaries, as these shifts have been material to which elementary school serves which neighborhoods.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
