Summary

Plum Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lockhart, Texas, serving 526 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Lockhart Independent School District, which is ranked 737 out of 961 districts in the state.

Plum Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the Lockhart ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Plum Creek's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 60.49% compared to the district's 43.47% and the state's 52.02%. The school also has strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking 655 out of 2,421 Texas elementary schools for African American students and 1,188 out of 4,477 for students of low socioeconomic status. However, Plum Creek Elementary faces challenges due to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 80.61% to 88.61% over the past few years.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Lockhart ISD, such as Alma Brewer Strawn, Clear Fork, Navarro, and Bluebonnet, Plum Creek Elementary outperforms them in terms of academic achievement and SchoolDigger rankings. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, but it has shown improvement in recent years, particularly in the performance of certain student subgroups. Plum Creek Elementary's high spending per student ($10,754 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio (13.7 to 14.9) may contribute to its academic success.
