Summary

Clear Fork Elementary in Lockhart, TX, is a K-5 school serving 523 students within the Lockhart Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a remarkable success story of sustained academic improvement.

The school has achieved a dramatic turnaround, rising from a 1-star rating (bottom 25% in Texas) between 2016-2019 to a consistent 3-star rating, and most recently reaching the 66th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This upward trajectory is unique among its peers. For example, while Plum Creek Elementary is competitive at the 61st percentile, other nearby schools like Navarro Elementary (29th percentile) and Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary (21st percentile) have remained stagnant. Clear Fork excels in upper elementary grades, with reading proficiency climbing from 43.5% in 3rd grade to 76.3% in 5th grade—the opposite trend of many area schools. The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student groups, ranking in the 74th percentile for both male students and low socioeconomic status students, despite 64% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This efficiency is highlighted when compared to Blanco Vista Elementary in the neighboring Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which has a similar overall rank (65th percentile) but a lower poverty rate (53%) and higher per-student spending.

Despite these strengths, Clear Fork has clear areas for growth. Third-grade performance is a consistent weakness, with only 43.5% proficient in reading and 32.4% in math, suggesting the transition into testing may need reinforcement. Additionally, science proficiency is critically low, with just 18.75% of 5th graders proficient—a district-wide issue. The school also shows volatility in subgroup performance, such as English Language Learners, who swung from the 90th percentile to the 5th percentile in recent years. For parents, Clear Fork offers a strong, efficient academic environment that excels in upper grades and for specific student groups, but it is important to be aware of the early-grade challenges and the need for supplemental science support.
