Summary

Cynthia A Cockrell Elementary is a high-performing elementary school in Prosper, TX, serving 707 students in grades PK-5 as part of the top-rated Prosper Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide. The school consistently ranks in the top 6% of all Texas elementary schools, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in four of the last five years. Its most standout achievement is exceptional performance for African American students, placing in the 99th percentile statewide—a remarkable feat that shows the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps and ensuring success for all learners.

Cockrell excels particularly in reading, with 4th and 5th graders achieving proficiency rates of 80.79% and 82.96% respectively, far above the state average of around 53-58% and even exceeding the district average of 73-75%. This makes it a literacy leader within an already strong district. However, 5th-grade science is a notable area for growth, with only 37.78% of students proficient in 2024-2025, below the district average of 41.35%. Math performance is solid but more variable; while 5th-grade math scores are slightly above the district average, 4th-grade math has occasionally dipped below district peers. Compared to nearby schools, Cockrell is a consistent top-tier performer—for example, R Steve Folsom Elementary and Jim And Betty Hughes Elementary more frequently rank in the 80th percentile range, while Cockrell stays in the 89th to 94th percentile. The contrast is even starker with McKinney Independent School District (Isd) schools like J B Wilmeth Elementary or C T Eddins Elementary, where scores are generally on par with lower-performing Prosper schools.

The school serves a very affluent community, with a free/reduced lunch rate of just 2.83%, the second-lowest among nearby Prosper peers (only Sam Johnson Elementary is lower at 1.49%). This context helps explain the high overall test scores, but Cockrell’s true strength is its consistent excellence across multiple years and its standout success with African American students. For parents, this school offers a proven track record of academic achievement, particularly in reading, and a strong community environment within a top-tier district. The main area to watch is science instruction, which lags behind district averages and may benefit from additional focus.
