Summary

Wayne A Cox Elementary is a PK-5 school in Roanoke, TX, serving 701 students as part of the highly-rated Northwest Independent School District (Isd), and it consistently ranks among the top schools in the region, currently in the 85th percentile statewide.

Cox Elementary stands out for its exceptional 3rd-grade math program, where 75% of students were proficient in the latest school year—a full 30 percentage points above the district average and far surpassing nearby schools like Clara Love Elementary and J Lyndal Hughes Elementary. The school also excels in supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for this subgroup. However, there is a notable drop in 4th-grade math proficiency (47%), which is a significant contrast to its 3rd-grade strength and a potential area for improvement. In reading, the school shows consistent performance across all grade levels, with proficiency rates around 69-77%.

Compared to its top competitor, Samuel Beck Elementary (just 2.45 miles away), Cox has a stronger record in 3rd-grade math and special education, while Beck has an edge in 4th-grade math and overall reading scores. The nearby Lakeview Elementary is the highest-performing school in the area, ranking in the 94th percentile. Cox’s low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and low free/reduced lunch rate (14.12%) contribute to its strong academic environment, though the school should focus on improving outcomes for its Multi-racial students, who ranked in the 24th percentile statewide.
