Summary

Highland Park Elementary in Pflugerville, TX, is a consistently high-performing school within the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), serving 706 students in grades PK-5 and earning a 4-star rating in the 87th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional reading program, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders achieving proficiency rates of 68.5%, 73.3%, and 77.5% respectively—significantly higher than nearby schools like Caldwell Elementary and Dearing Elementary. While Murchison Elementary (92nd percentile) has higher overall scores, Highland Park is highly competitive in reading and serves a more diverse student body, with 43% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the 92nd percentile for both Hispanic students and Special Education students, and the 88th percentile for English Language Learners. This "value-add" approach means the school achieves results comparable to more affluent schools like Blackland Prairie Elementary (12% free/reduced lunch) and Forest Creek Elementary in the Round Rock Independent School District (Isd).

However, parents should note that math and science scores are less dominant. Fifth-grade math proficiency dropped to 51.9% in 2025-2026, and fifth-grade science scores have been consistently low (29.5% in 2024-2025), trailing top-performing peers like Murchison (63.3% in science). The Spanish-language program also shows mixed results, with excellent 5th-grade reading scores but 0% proficiency in 3rd-grade math for two consecutive years. Despite these areas for improvement, Highland Park's strong reading program, inclusive environment, and proven ability to support diverse learners make it a standout choice within Pflugerville ISD, especially for families prioritizing literacy and a supportive community.
