Summary

Great Hearts Live Oak is a K-11 charter school in Live Oak, TX, serving 1,153 students as part of the Great Hearts Texas district, which ranks in the top 23% of Texas school districts. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in high school English and Biology, with 75.44% proficiency in English I and 87.27% proficiency in Biology—far exceeding state averages. However, it shows a persistent weakness in mathematics, where proficiency rates often fall below state and district averages, such as 39.5% in 3rd-grade math compared to the state average of 44.33%. The school has a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio of 22:1 and a moderate socioeconomic profile, with about 35.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, Great Hearts Live Oak is a solid academic performer but is outperformed by its sister school, Great Hearts Northern Oaks, which excels in both reading and math. For example, Northern Oaks achieved 78.68% proficiency in 7th-grade math, while Live Oak's math scores are more moderate. Live Oak's reading performance is a clear strength, with 8th-grade reading proficiency at 75.24%, far above the state average of 58.69%. In contrast, schools like Somerset Academy Collegiate and George Gervin Academy have much lower academic outcomes across the board. Live Oak also operates efficiently, with per-student spending of $9,069, significantly less than peers like Harmony School Of Innovation - San Antonio ($12,666), yet it achieves superior results.

One notable finding is the volatility in Algebra I scores, which jumped from 24.39% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 52% in 2025-2026, suggesting possible changes in curriculum or teaching staff. The school also experienced a spike in its dropout rate to 1.9% in 2023-2024, after two years at 0.0%, which warrants attention. Overall, Great Hearts Live Oak is a cost-effective, above-average school with a strong focus on literacy and science, but it faces a clear challenge in improving its mathematics instruction to match its other academic strengths.
