Summary

House Creek Elementary in Copperas Cove, TX, serves 622 students in grades K-5 within the Copperas Cove Independent School District (Isd), a school that has historically been a top performer but is now navigating a notable decline. Once the district's leading elementary school, peaking at the 87th percentile in 2021-2022, House Creek has dropped to the 64th percentile (3 stars) in the most recent data, with Martin Walker Elementary (78th percentile) now surpassing it. This shift is most dramatic in 3rd grade math, where proficiency fell from 62.92% in 2023-2024 to just 23.47% in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 44.33%. In contrast, 4th graders at House Creek continue to excel, with reading (62.1%) and math (60.48%) scores significantly outpacing both district and state averages, suggesting the issue may be cohort-specific rather than school-wide.

House Creek’s standout strength is its exceptional performance with economically disadvantaged students, consistently ranking in the top 15-20% of the state for serving this group (88th percentile in 2023-2024). This is a powerful indicator of the school’s effectiveness in closing achievement gaps, especially given that 49.2% of its students are economically disadvantaged—a lower rate than most district peers. However, the school shows a contrasting pattern with other student groups, performing well with African American and Hispanic students but struggling with White and Multi-racial students, an area that warrants internal review to ensure equity across all populations.

Compared to nearby Martin Walker Elementary, just 3.8 miles away, House Creek has a higher enrollment (622 vs. 355) and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (49.2% vs. 55.5%), yet Martin Walker now outperforms it in nearly every test category, likely due to its smaller class sizes (10.7 vs. 14.4 student-teacher ratio) and higher per-student spending ($9,770 vs. $9,028). A district-wide weakness is 5th grade science, where House Creek’s scores (20-24%) consistently fall below the state average, mirroring struggles at Fairview/Miss Jewell Elementary and Hettie Halstead Elementary. House Creek is at a critical juncture, needing to diagnose the 3rd grade math decline and replicate its successful strategies for low-SES students across all demographics to return to its former high standing.
