Summary

Caldwell Elementary is a PK-5 school in Round Rock, TX, serving 545 students as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a bright spot in its district cluster with a 2-star rating and a 50th percentile statewide rank for the 2025-2026 school year, showing improvement from the previous year. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with nearly 70% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and it excels in preparing students for middle school, particularly in 5th grade reading (74.47% proficient) and math (50.94% proficient), both of which exceed district and state averages. This is a notable strength compared to nearby Pflugerville ISD peers like Timmerman Elementary, Springhill Elementary, Brookhollow Elementary, and Windermere Elementary, where 5th-grade scores generally fall below district and state averages.

Caldwell also differentiates itself with strong support for special education students, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide, and for African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile, indicating effective outcomes for these groups. However, the school faces challenges with inconsistent performance for English language learners, whose ranking dropped from the 72nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 28th percentile in 2024-2025, and a persistent weakness in 4th-grade math, where only 32.95% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the district (49.11%) and state (49.28%) averages. This pattern has been consistent for three years, suggesting a potential curriculum gap that needs attention to ensure students are better prepared for their strong 5th-grade performance.

In the broader educational landscape, Caldwell is a strong performer within Pflugerville ISD but underperforms compared to nearby Round Rock Independent School District (Isd) schools like Gattis Elementary, where test scores are generally comparable or slightly higher. More strikingly, it is outperformed by the nearby charter school Idea Round Rock Technical Academy, which ranks in the 73rd percentile and achieves proficiency rates 15-25 percentage points higher in most subjects, despite having a much larger student-teacher ratio (21.3 vs. Caldwell's 12.1) and lower per-student spending ($10,773 vs. $11,132). This contrast highlights the competitive options families in this area face and raises questions about the efficiency of different instructional models.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, September 5, 2013

This USE to be an excellent school a place as a parent you felt that your child was being nurtured and loved, now this school is a joke. At least half of the teachers are new, the front office staff and nurse are all new, the principal and vice principal have one year under their belts at Caldwell. However the vice principal hasn't taken the time to get to know the parents nor does she seem to care that essentially myself as a parent and tax payer keep her employed. This school needs to change their lack of concern for the children is appalling, other than little test takers. I am moving my child to private or charter ASAP this school doesn't deserve the funding they are getting. Honestly too bad I had to give this school one star, if I could I wouldn't give them any.
