Summary

Meadows Elementary in Fort Cavazos, TX, is a large elementary school serving 912 students in grades PK-5, and it stands out as a strong academic leader within the Killeen Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown impressive improvement over the past decade, climbing from a low point in 2018-2019 to a peak in the 77th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, though it recently settled at the 51st percentile in 2025-2026. This performance is notably higher than nearby schools like Killeen Elementary (3rd percentile) and Pershing Park Elementary (26th percentile), and it is only surpassed by the smaller Priority Charter Schools - Killeen (59th percentile).

A key factor in Meadows' success is its significantly lower rate of economic disadvantage, with only 41% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, compared to over 70% at nearby schools like Clear Creek Elementary and Maxdale Elementary. The school excels in Reading, consistently outperforming the district average by an average of 12 percentage points across all tested grades in 2024-2025. It has also been highly effective at supporting diverse student groups, ranking in the 79th-87th percentile for serving Female, African American, Hispanic, and Low Socio-Economic Status students in that same year. Additionally, Meadows operates efficiently, spending $9,183 per student—less than peers like Venable Village Elementary ($10,147)—while achieving stronger results.

However, the school faces notable challenges. Mathematics scores are a consistent weakness, with proficiency rates ranging from 35% to 43% in 2025-2026, below the state average in every grade. There has also been a broad-based decline in rankings from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, affecting nearly all student subgroups, which suggests a systemic issue that needs attention. While Meadows remains a top choice for families on base, addressing these math gaps and reversing the recent downward trend will be critical to maintaining its strong reputation.
