Summary

Cedar Creek Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Cedar Creek, TX, serving 775 students within the Bastrop Independent School District (Isd), where a very high percentage of families (85.29%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is in a state of crisis, having experienced a catastrophic decade-long decline in academic performance. Once ranked in the 59th percentile statewide in 2016-2017, it has fallen to the bottom 1st percentile in the most recent rankings. Proficiency rates are critically low across all subjects and grades, often at half or less than half of the district average and roughly one-third of the state average. For example, only 12.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 30.29% for the district and 51.08% for the state. The school's performance is also far worse than nearby schools with similar or even higher poverty rates. For instance, Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary (89.22% poverty) achieved a 42.19% proficiency rate in 3rd grade reading—3.4 times higher than Cedar Creek's 12.3%. Even more striking, Colony Oaks Elementary, located just 7.5 miles away in the same district, ranks in the 58th percentile with proficiency rates often 3-4 times higher.

The decline is systemic, affecting every student group, including the Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 1st percentile. The only positive outlier is a significant improvement with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who jumped from the 3rd to the 21st percentile in the most recent year. Science is a critical weakness, with only 9.57% of 5th graders proficient. This data suggests that poverty alone does not explain the school's struggles, and a comprehensive, data-driven turnaround strategy is urgently needed to reverse this long-term trend.
