Summary

Charlotte Cox Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Cedar Park, TX, serving 534 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Leander Independent School District (Isd). While the school has a history of strong academic performance, including a 5-star rating in 2018-2019, its recent trajectory shows a decline, dropping to a 3-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year. This places it in a "middle of the pack" position within its immediate area—outperformed by nearby high-achieving schools like Rutledge Elementary and Westside Elementary, but significantly ahead of struggling neighbors such as Lois F Giddens Elementary and Ada Mae Faubion Elementary.

A key differentiator is the school's academic profile, which reveals a significant split between subjects. Charlotte Cox is a strong performer in Reading, consistently meeting or exceeding district averages. However, it struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades falling below the district average in the most recent year. This math deficit is a primary driver of the school's ranking decline and stands in stark contrast to top-performing neighbor Rutledge Elementary, which significantly exceeded district math averages. Additionally, the school shows a persistent gender achievement gap, with male students outperforming female students by 8 to 21 percentile points over the last three years.

On a positive note, the school has shown exceptional recent performance with Special Education students, who jumped from the 30th percentile statewide to the 71st percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, suggesting a targeted intervention is working. However, other subgroups, such as English Language Learners, have shown more volatile results. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and a relatively affluent community (16.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch), the school has strong foundational resources. For parents, Charlotte Cox remains a solid option, but it is no longer the standout choice it once was, especially when compared to the consistently high-performing Rutledge Elementary less than a mile away.
