Better than 24% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Maxdale Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Killeen Independent School District (Isd) serving 511 students in a community where about 74% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown inconsistent performance, currently ranking in the 24th percentile among Texas elementary schools—a notable drop from its recent peak in the 42nd percentile during the 2023-2024 school year.

The most urgent concern is a severe decline in 4th-grade math, where only 11.48% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, down from 51.25% the previous year. This is dramatically lower than the district average of 42.03% and state average of 49.28%. While reading scores generally align closer to district and state averages, mathematics remains a persistent weakness across all grade levels. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($10,022) than nearby higher-performing Haynes Elementary ($8,610), which serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 52nd percentile. This suggests the issue isn't a lack of funding, but how resources are used to drive improvement.

Maxdale's performance across student subgroups has been highly volatile. For example, Hispanic students went from the 70th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 23rd percentile the following year, while English Language Learners dropped from the 82nd percentile to the 16th percentile. The 2023-2024 school year stands out as a "bright spot" when the school achieved its best results, proving that stronger outcomes are possible. Nearby Meadows Elementary (51st percentile) and Clear Creek Elementary (48th percentile) outperform Maxdale, while Venable Village Elementary (26th percentile) and Willow Springs Elementary (30th percentile) show similar results. The success of Haynes Elementary demonstrates that strong academic achievement is achievable in this community, making Maxdale's current trajectory a significant concern for families.
