Summary

Castleman Creek Elementary is a PK-5 school in Hewitt, TX, serving 570 students as part of the highly-rated Midway Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.

While Castleman Creek has historically been a solid, above-average school, recent data shows a notable downward trend in its overall state ranking, dropping from the 82nd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 63rd percentile in the most recent data. This decline is particularly striking when compared to its closest neighbors within the district. For example, Park Hill Elementary (0.69 miles away) has risen to the 90th percentile, and Spring Valley Elementary (0.97 miles away) has climbed to the 88th percentile. A key area of concern is mathematics, where Castleman Creek's proficiency rates are significantly below the district average across all grades—for instance, only 39.76% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to the district's 55.37%. This contrasts sharply with South Bosque Elementary, where 84% of 3rd graders are proficient in math. The school also shows a "science slump," with only 28.92% of 5th graders proficient in science, far below peers like Spring Valley (58.54%) and South Bosque (66.33%).

Interestingly, Castleman Creek excels in serving its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide. However, this success is not mirrored for other student groups, suggesting a need for more targeted support. The school serves a moderately high-needs population, with over 56% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a much higher rate than higher-performing peers like South Bosque (14.19%) and Woodway Elementary (31.44%). This economic context is critical for understanding the school's performance, as it faces greater challenges related to poverty than its neighbors. Additionally, Castleman Creek spends slightly less per student ($8,789) than several higher-performing district peers, though spending alone does not determine outcomes.
