Summary

Caddo Grove Elementary is a PK-5 school in Joshua, TX, serving 611 students as part of the Joshua Independent School District (Isd), a high-performing district ranked in the 75th percentile statewide. However, Caddo Grove itself is a significant outlier, ranking in the 20th percentile (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year, with over 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This stark contrast between the school's performance and its district's high standing is the central theme of this analysis.

Academically, Caddo Grove's STAAR test scores are consistently below both district and state averages. For example, in 3rd Grade Math, only 26.7% of students were proficient, compared to 51.7% in the district and 44.3% statewide. In 4th Grade Reading, 34.3% were proficient versus 59.0% in the district and 53.0% statewide. The most critical area is 5th Grade Science, where just 14% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 45.9% in the district and 29.6% statewide—a persistent issue for at least three years. While the school struggles across the board, there is a glimmer of hope: Special Education students jumped from the 7th percentile to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting targeted interventions may be working. In contrast, nearby schools like North Joshua Elementary (94th percentile) and A G Elder Elementary (82nd percentile) are top performers in the same district.

Compared to other area schools, Caddo Grove's challenges align more with lower-performing schools in the Godley Independent School District (Isd), such as Legacy Elementary and Pleasant View Elementary, than with its own high-performing district peers. The school's overall rank has dropped from the 48th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026, but the recent improvement in Special Education outcomes offers a potential path forward. For parents, the most pressing concern is the persistent science crisis, which requires immediate attention, while the school's high economic disadvantage rate (67.9%) is a key contextual factor in understanding its performance challenges.
