Summary

Spicewood Elementary is a small, PK-5 public school in Spicewood, TX, serving 310 students as part of the Marble Falls Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional 4th grade math performance, with 73.47% of students proficient in 2025-2026—31 points higher than the district average and 24 points above the state. It also offers a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and spends $11,370 per student, more than nearby schools like Rough Hollow Elementary (which spends $8,757 per student with a 17.5:1 ratio). However, Spicewood has seen a downward trend in overall state ranking, dropping from the 87th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is evident in subjects like 5th grade reading (falling from 68% to 52% proficiency) and 3rd grade math (dropping from 80% to 44%). Science is a particular weakness, with only 17.95% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, below both the district and state averages.

Despite these challenges, Spicewood serves a moderately diverse population, with 44.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. It significantly outperforms its district peers, Marble Falls Elementary and Colt Elementary, which have higher poverty rates. The school also shows strong results for its Hispanic students, who ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. Compared to the nearby Rough Hollow Elementary in the Lake Travis Independent School District (Isd), which has only 2.85% of students on free/reduced lunch and test scores 20-30 points higher, Spicewood’s higher investment per student and smaller classes highlight the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic outcomes.

Open Quote Spicewood Elementary School strives to give attention to EVERY student and, in my opinion, is successful! My children are doing better and better in school! I have two children in this school and they constantly get the attention that they need to learn. The teachers are in constant communication with the parents and answer emails daily. The principal is wonderful and makes the children feel welcome and SAFE. Not only that, the school has fun events for the children to do that bring EVERYONE together! All in all, this is one of the best schools that I have had the pleasure of walking the halls of! Close Quote
