Summary

Hidden Lake Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Pflugerville, TX, serving 601 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), and it consistently ranks as a solid, above-average performer within the state.

Hidden Lake stands out for its remarkable success with English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 84th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Pflugerville Elementary and Highland Park Elementary, which also serve ELL populations but have lower overall rankings. The school also excels in mathematics, with 4th-grade math scores in 2024-2025 soaring 18 percentage points above the district average. While it is not the top performer in its immediate area—neighbors like Riojas Elementary and Murchison Elementary rank in the 91st and 92nd percentiles, respectively—Hidden Lake offers a more consistent and equitable high-quality education than many of its peers, such as Timmerman Elementary (22nd percentile) or Mott Elementary.

One interesting dynamic is that Hidden Lake performs exceptionally well for its African American and Hispanic students, yet its White and low-socioeconomic status students do not see the same relative boost—a pattern that suggests the school’s overall strength is driven by targeted programs for diverse learners. Additionally, while 5th-grade science scores are a weak point across the district, Hidden Lake’s 21.57% proficiency rate is significantly better than the 8.82% at Timmerman or 15.15% at Mott. With a stable student-teacher ratio and consistent state rankings over the past three years, Hidden Lake provides a reliable, well-established environment for families seeking a school that successfully supports a wide range of learners.
