Summary

Venable Village Elementary in Fort Cavazos, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 597 students as part of the Killeen Independent School District (Isd), with a high proportion of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (63.82% receiving free or reduced lunch). The school has experienced a significant and sustained decline in overall performance over the past six years, dropping from a peak in the 63rd percentile (3 stars) in the 2018-2019 school year to the 26th percentile (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year, a steeper drop than most nearby schools.

Despite this overall trend, Venable Village shows notable strengths in specific areas. It performs exceptionally well for its African American student population, ranking in the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in the most recent data, a stark contrast to its overall ranking. Additionally, the school demonstrates a surprising "4th grade spike" in mathematics, with 4th graders outperforming the district average (49.21% vs. 37.92% in 2024-2025), suggesting a highly effective teacher or targeted intervention at that grade level. However, these gains are not sustained into 5th grade, where math scores lag behind. The most critical weakness is in 5th-grade science, where only 7.27% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, the lowest among all nearby schools and well below the district average of 20.86% and state average of 29.57%.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight potential learning opportunities. Clarke Elementary, just 2.94 miles away on the same base, serves a similar military-dependent population but achieves dramatically higher 3rd-grade scores (71.21% proficient in Reading vs. 40.28% at Venable Village), pointing to a fundamental divergence in early elementary instruction. Similarly, Meadows Elementary, only 1.16 miles away, outperforms Venable Village in every subject and grade level, though it serves a population with a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (41.45% vs. 63.82%). These contrasts set clear benchmarks for what is possible within the same district and geographic area, suggesting that investigating the practices at Clarke and Meadows could help reverse Venable Village's downward trend.
