Summary

Clifton Park Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), serving 875 students in a high-needs area where over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools, it stands out as the highest-performing among its five closest KISD neighbors, including Killeen Elementary and Trimmier Elementary, offering a measure of stability in a volatile district.

A notable bright spot is 5th-grade Reading, where 57.73% of students met proficiency—nearly matching the state average and slightly exceeding the district average. However, Mathematics remains a critical weakness, with proficiency rates in 3rd through 5th grade falling 10 to 15 percentage points below district averages. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency was just 31.62%, compared to 44.93% at nearby Venable Village Elementary. Science scores are also alarmingly low, with 5th-grade proficiency hovering around 12%, less than half the state average, suggesting a need for curriculum review in upper elementary grades.

An interesting comparison is with Priority Charter Schools - Killeen, located less than a mile away. That charter school serves a smaller, less economically disadvantaged population and ranks in the 59th percentile statewide, with math scores nearly double Clifton Park’s. Additionally, Clifton Park’s Special Education program saw a dramatic decline from a 93rd percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, signaling a potential shift in resources or instruction that parents may want to explore further.
