Summary
Crockett Elementary is a K-5 school in San Marcos, TX, serving 477 students within the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, and it has emerged as a high-performing beacon in a district that faces significant challenges. Over the past decade, Crockett has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, jumping from the 60th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 82nd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating for the second consecutive year. This places it among the top 20% of elementary schools in Texas, a stark contrast to most of its district peers, such as Bowie Elementary and Dezavala Elementary, which rank in the bottom 20th percentile.
Crockett consistently posts proficiency rates that are 15-30 percentage points higher than the district average and often 10-20 points higher than the state average. For example, in 2025-2026, 3rd Grade Reading proficiency at Crockett was 70.45%, compared to the district's 47.01% and the state's 51.08%. The school also excels with specific student groups, ranking in the 94th percentile for White Students and the 84th percentile for Low Socio-Economic Status Students in 2024-2025, demonstrating that its success is school-wide. Interestingly, Crockett achieves these results with a lower per-student spending ($10,379) than many of its district peers, such as Rodriguez Elementary ($13,917), suggesting effective resource allocation.
While Crockett excels in Reading and Math, its 5th Grade Science scores, though improving, are a relative weakness—a challenge shared across all nearby schools. A critical area for attention is the school's performance with "At Risk Students," which ranked in the bottom 20th percentile in 2021-2022, a glaring contradiction to its otherwise stellar record. This suggests that while Crockett is highly effective for many students, it may need targeted interventions for those facing broader risk factors. Overall, Crockett's sustained improvement over a short period makes it a model for other schools in the district and beyond.
