Summary

Timber Creek Elementary in Livingston, TX, is a mid-sized school serving approximately 499 students in grades 1-5 within the Livingston Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a top performer in a region where many nearby schools struggle.

The school’s most impressive strength is its 5th-grade math program, which consistently achieves proficiency rates 20-30 points higher than the state average—a remarkable feat that makes it a true "math powerhouse" in the area. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 67.59% of Timber Creek’s 5th graders were proficient in math, compared to just 47.38% statewide. This success is part of a broader trend where student performance actually improves as they move through the grades, with reading and math proficiency rates rising steadily from 3rd to 5th grade. Timber Creek also excels at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. When compared to its closest rivals, Timber Creek outperforms Creekside Elementary in nearly every subject and grade level, and while Cedar Grove Elementary is a closer competitor, Timber Creek’s dominance in 5th-grade math (68% proficiency vs. Cedar Grove’s 36%) is a clear separator.

However, the school does have areas for improvement. While math and reading are strong, 5th-grade science proficiency (29.79%) is essentially tied with the state average, suggesting a need for instructional focus in that subject. Additionally, performance for some student groups, such as multi-racial students, has shown significant year-to-year swings, which may warrant attention. Despite these challenges, Timber Creek remains a standout choice for families in the broader Livingston area, offering a high-quality elementary education that far exceeds the performance of many neighboring schools in districts like Shepherd Independent School District (Isd) and Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated Independent School District.
