Summary

Creekside Elementary in Livingston, TX, serves 504 students in grades 1 through 5 within the Livingston Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty area where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

After a strong 2021-2022 school year, Creekside’s overall performance dropped and remained in the 33rd to 39th percentile for three years. However, the most recent data shows a notable rebound to the 51st percentile, suggesting a potential turnaround. The school’s performance varies by subject: it meets or exceeds state averages in 3rd and 4th grade math but struggles in reading across all grades and in 5th grade math. A clear pattern emerges where student performance drops significantly between 3rd and 5th grade, a decline steeper than the state average and not seen at higher-performing district peers like Timber Creek Elementary (65th percentile) and Cedar Grove Elementary (76th percentile).

Despite these challenges, Creekside shows a remarkable ability to support its most at-risk students, with its "At Risk" subgroup ranking in the 88th percentile statewide in 2021-2022. Compared to nearby schools in the Shepherd, Coldspring-Oakhurst, and Leggett districts—which rank in the bottom 25% of the state—Creekside is a relatively strong option. The only comparable out-of-district school is Onalaska Elementary, which consistently outperforms Creekside in most metrics. While poverty is a significant factor, Creekside’s recent rebound and targeted support for vulnerable students offer hope for continued improvement.
