The organization National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) a/k/a Just 4 kids determined the following 3rd graders are in high performing schools. There is also a list for upper elementary, a list for middle school and a list for high school.
3rd grade analysis looked at reading and math. The methodology is a bit more involved than just looking at 3rd grade TAKS scores. It also considered demographics of the group and if the group performed better than predicted or not based on those demographics. (I think that's a way of saying they compared the schools to other schools with the same demographics to see how the school was doing relative to its peer schools.) It only considered test scores from students who had been in the school or district for at least 3 years. http://www.just4kids.org/en/texas/higher_performing/elementary_schools.cfm
