Summary

Cooke Elementary in Cleburne, TX, is a PK-4 public school in the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd) serving 501 students in a community where about 85% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 11th percentile statewide in 2019 to its highest-ever ranking at the 62nd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 3-star rating.

What truly sets Cooke apart is its exceptional effectiveness with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for this group. This is a standout achievement compared to nearby schools facing similar challenges. For instance, Santa Fe Elementary (84.8% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 16th percentile overall, and Irving Elementary (80.2% free/reduced lunch) ranks in the 19th percentile. Cooke also shows a dramatic improvement in serving its Special Education students, jumping from the 17th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, the school consistently outperforms the district average in core subjects, with 3rd and 4th-grade Reading scores (62.5% and 57.1%) significantly higher than the district averages (48.5% and 53.2%).

While Cooke excels in many areas, it faces a clear challenge with its English Language Learner (ELL) population, which dropped to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. This suggests a need for more support in transitioning students to English proficiency. The school’s progress is especially notable when compared to Gerard Elementary, the district’s highest-performing school (82nd percentile), which serves a much lower poverty rate (50.4% free/reduced lunch). Cooke’s ability to achieve strong results with a student population facing greater economic challenges highlights its effectiveness and makes it a standout in the district.
