Summary

Clear Spring Elementary in New Braunfels, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 738 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Comal Independent School District (Isd), though it has experienced a notable decline in academic performance in recent years.

Once a 4-star school ranking in the 77th-80th percentile, Clear Spring has slipped to the 48th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, a sharp contrast to nearby peers that remain stable or improving. For example, Freiheit Elementary (72nd percentile) and Goodwin Frazier Elementary (73rd percentile) in Comal ISD, as well as Walnut Springs Elementary (81st percentile) in New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd), all outperform Clear Spring. A key weakness is mathematics, where proficiency rates (e.g., 36% in 3rd grade) fall well below the district average (61%). Additionally, 5th grade science scores are a critical concern, with only 17.76% of students proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 50.58% and even lower than the state average of 29.57%.

Despite these challenges, Clear Spring shows some bright spots, such as its Spanish-language program, where 5th grade reading scores (40% proficient) surpass both the district (27.78%) and state (32.91%) averages. The school also spends less per student ($8,624) than many nearby schools, like Goodwin Frazier Elementary ($9,453) and Walnut Springs Elementary ($10,459), and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (15.4) compared to high-performing peers like Walnut Springs (11.8). This suggests that increased investment in smaller class sizes and instructional resources could help reverse the school's downward trend and better support its student body, where over half qualify for free or reduced lunch.
