Summary

Willow Springs Elementary is a public elementary school in Killeen, Texas, serving 658 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Killeen Independent School District, which is ranked 626 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Willow Springs Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 5 years, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in reading and math are projected to be around 30-45%, compared to the district's 48-53% and the state's 45-58%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 69.83% to 88.2% over the past 3 years, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Killeen Independent School District, Clear Creek Elementary, Venable Village Elementary, and Reeces Creek Elementary generally perform better on STAAR tests and have a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. To improve student outcomes, Willow Springs Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies that address the unique needs of its diverse student population.
