Summary

Live Oak Elementary is a public elementary school in Austin, Texas, serving 405 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Round Rock Independent School District. While the district is ranked 235 out of 961 in Texas and has a 4-star rating, Live Oak Elementary's performance has fluctuated over the past decade, currently ranking 1383 out of around 4,300-4,700 Texas elementary schools with a 4-star rating.

Live Oak Elementary faces challenges in student academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates lag behind the district and state averages. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, whose rankings are often in the bottom quartile or third of Texas elementary schools. This is in contrast to nearby high-performing schools like Laurel Mountain Elementary and Spicewood Elementary, which consistently outperform Live Oak on state assessments.

Despite higher spending per student at Live Oak Elementary compared to the state average, the school's performance still lags behind nearby higher-performing schools that also have higher spending per student. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to support student learning effectively. Additionally, Live Oak's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.41% to 42.47%, may be a contributing factor to its lower performance compared to nearby schools with lower rates of economically disadvantaged students.
