Summary

Cross Timbers Elementary in Azle, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 416 students within the Azle Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as the district's highest-performing elementary school despite serving a community where over 61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What truly sets Cross Timbers apart is its exceptional effectiveness with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group—a remarkable achievement that far surpasses nearby schools like Liberty Elementary and Hilltop Elementary, which both rank in the bottom third of Texas schools. The school also shows strong support for English Language Learners, consistently performing in the 77th percentile in recent years. Its closest rival is Silver Creek Elementary, located just 3.6 miles away, which has shown more stable recent performance but serves a much lower poverty population (36.83% vs. 61.06%). Cross Timbers achieves these results with remarkable efficiency, spending just $9,034 per student—the lowest among all comparable area schools, including Eagle Heights Elementary ($11,054) and Liberty ($10,622).

However, parents should note some recent trends. After earning 4-star ratings for five consecutive years, the school dropped to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, driven by a sharp decline in 3rd Grade Math proficiency (from 45% to 28.57%). Additionally, while the school excels with at-risk populations, its performance with White students ranked in the 24th percentile, suggesting instructional strategies may need adjustment for this group. Support for Special Education students has also been inconsistent, with ratings swinging from a 4-star to a 1-star and back to a 3-star over three years. Despite these challenges, Cross Timbers remains a standout in the district, particularly in 4th Grade Math, where it consistently outperforms both district and state averages.
