Summary

Cedar Valley Elementary is a PK-5 school in Killeen, TX, serving 570 students within the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently earned a strong 4-star rating, placing it in the 74th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to support all students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, where it ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. This is a remarkable achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Timber Ridge Elementary, which is less than half a mile away but ranks in the 27th percentile. Cedar Valley consistently outperforms the district average in reading and math across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade reading, nearly 65% of its students were proficient, compared to the district average of 48%. The school also shows strong results for its Hispanic and African American students, ranking in the 88th and 82nd percentiles respectively, a level of success that is rare in the area.

While Cedar Valley excels in reading and math, 5th grade science is a noted area for growth, with proficiency rates that, while low, are consistent with a district-wide challenge. The school’s performance is especially impressive given its per-student spending is not exceptionally high, suggesting effective use of resources. After a dip in rankings a few years ago, the school has rebounded strongly, showing resilience and a commitment to continuous improvement. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong academic results and fosters equity, Cedar Valley is a standout choice in the Killeen area.
