Summary

Carpenter Elementary is a mid-sized school in Pflugerville, TX, serving 600 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), and it has consistently earned a 4-star rating and ranked in the top 22% of Texas elementary schools for four straight years.

This school stands out for its exceptional math performance, especially in 4th grade, where 72.16% of students were proficient in the most recent year—the highest among 11 nearby schools, even surpassing the elite charter Basis Pflugerville Pri (64.24%). Carpenter also excels at supporting its African American students, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide. However, 5th-grade science scores are a weak spot, dropping to 28.16% proficiency, well below the state average. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 14.9 is slightly higher than some peers, but still healthy.

Compared to the very similar Hidden Lake Elementary—just 1.77 miles away with nearly identical enrollment and demographics—Carpenter consistently outperforms in overall ranking and in almost every subject and grade. While schools like Brookhollow Elementary and Pflugerville Elementary have seen ratings fluctuate wildly, Carpenter offers reliable, high-quality education. It may not match the top-tier scores of Riojas Elementary or Murchison Elementary, but its steady performance and math excellence make it a strong, dependable choice for families seeking a traditional public school environment.
