Summary

Live Oak Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school (PK-5) in Austin, TX, serving about 391 students as part of the Round Rock Independent School District (Isd). While the district is highly regarded, Live Oak has historically performed in the middle of the pack statewide, with a current ranking in the 62nd percentile (3 stars). This places it as the lowest-performing traditional elementary school in its immediate cluster, surrounded by schools like Laurel Mountain Elementary and Spicewood Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 10-20% of the state.

The most striking difference is the proficiency gap in core subjects. For example, in reading (3rd-5th grade), Live Oak's average proficiency is about 57%, while its top-performing neighbors average around 87%—a 30-percentage point gap. In math, the gap is even wider, with Live Oak at 44% proficiency compared to 85% for its high-performing peers. Interestingly, Live Oak has a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, significantly lower than neighbors like Kathy Caraway Elementary (15.5:1) and Purple Sage Elementary (15.6:1). Despite this investment in smaller classes, academic outcomes have not matched those of nearby schools, suggesting deeper challenges beyond class size.

Live Oak's performance has been volatile, with a dramatic improvement in 2024-2025 (70th percentile) followed by a drop in 2025-2026 (62nd percentile). The school serves a more diverse student population, with 45.78% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, compared to about 6% at its highest-performing neighbors. For parents considering options, the closest comparable school is Pond Springs Elementary, just 0.64 miles away, which serves a similar demographic but consistently outperforms Live Oak, ranking in the 78th percentile (4 stars). This makes Pond Springs a compelling alternative for families in the immediate area.
