Summary

Oak Creek Elementary in New Braunfels, TX, is a mid-to-large school serving 855 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Comal Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years. This school stands out for its exceptional support of African American students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for this group, and for its superior 5th-grade science performance, where 51% of students were proficient compared to the state average of just 30%. Oak Creek also serves a student population where about 35% are economically disadvantaged, a lower rate than many nearby schools like Clear Spring Elementary (53%) or Goodwin Frazier Elementary (55%), which likely contributes to its solid overall performance.

While Oak Creek is a strong school, it operates in the shadow of the exceptional Hoffmann Lane Elementary, which ranks in the 99th percentile and has a very low economic disadvantage rate of just 7%. Interestingly, Oak Creek actually spends more per student ($9,186) than Hoffmann Lane ($7,571), suggesting that the main driver of Hoffmann Lane's success is its extremely affluent parent population rather than a fundamentally different instructional approach. Oak Creek's overall state ranking has been climbing, reaching a peak of the 87th percentile in 2021-2022, though it recently dipped to the 75th percentile, with a notable decline in 5th-grade math proficiency from 54% to 45%—now below the state average.

The school shows inconsistent performance across student groups, excelling with Special Education (85th-88th percentile) and English Language Learners (87th-88th percentile), but struggling with White students (60th percentile) and Gifted and Talented students (56th percentile). This pattern suggests Oak Creek may be focusing resources on its most vulnerable populations, potentially at the expense of challenging its highest-performing students. Overall, Oak Creek offers a high-quality, well-rounded education in a stable environment, making it a strong choice for middle-class families, though the recent math dip is a key metric to watch for any developing weaknesses.
