Summary

Colt Elementary in Marble Falls, TX, is a mid-sized PK-5 school serving 572 students within the Marble Falls Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a steady 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for eight consecutive years, placing it in the 57th percentile statewide—a reliable performer in a district where nearby schools like Highland Lakes Elementary have experienced dramatic dips to a 0-star rating.

One of the school’s standout strengths is its "Colt Climb"—a pattern of significant academic growth from 3rd to 5th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, reading proficiency jumped from 43% in 3rd grade to 68% in 5th grade, while math proficiency rose from 27% to 56%. This means Colt is exceptionally effective at preparing students for middle school, with 5th graders outperforming both district and state averages in reading and math. The school also excels with specific student groups, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide for male students and the 65th percentile for special education students—a notable achievement given that many schools struggle in these areas. However, there is a significant gender achievement gap, with female students ranking in the 36th percentile, suggesting that instructional strategies may need adjustment to better support all learners.

Colt operates with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (58%) but spends less per student ($10,927) than higher-performing peers like Spicewood Elementary ($11,370), indicating efficient resource use. While the school’s English Language Learner program has been inconsistent, dropping to the 12th percentile in 2024-2025 before recovering to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026, this area requires close monitoring. Overall, Colt Elementary offers a stable, growth-focused environment that builds strong academic foundations, particularly for upper elementary students, making it a solid choice for families in the Marble Falls area.
