Summary

Plum Creek Elementary in Lockhart, TX, is a K-5 school serving 522 students within the Lockhart Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround from being in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools a decade ago to now consistently earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 61st percentile statewide.

What truly sets Plum Creek apart is its exceptional ability to support all students, especially those from high-needs backgrounds. Over 80% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school achieves top-tier results for these learners, with Low Socio-Economic Status students ranking in the 81st percentile statewide. This makes Plum Creek the highest-performing school in its district, outperforming peers like Navarro Elementary (29th percentile) and Bluebonnet Elementary (35th percentile). While Clear Fork Elementary has a slightly higher overall rank (66th percentile), Plum Creek achieves its results with a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and its performance is more balanced across all grade levels. The school also shines in its bilingual program, where 3rd-grade students taking the STAAR Spanish exam far exceed both district and state averages in Reading and Math.

Plum Creek’s consistent improvement over the years points to effective leadership and instructional strategies. The school’s only notable weakness is 5th Grade Science, where proficiency rates are low—a challenge shared across the entire Lockhart ISD. However, with efficient per-student spending ($10,754) and a clear upward trajectory, Plum Creek represents a strong, equitable choice for families. Its ability to deliver high academic outcomes while serving a diverse student body makes it a standout in the region.
