Summary

Waggoner Creek Elementary is a mid-sized school in Texarkana, TX, serving 337 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd).

Waggoner Creek stands out for its strong reading program, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency (67%) significantly outpacing both the district and state averages. However, math achievement is a persistent challenge, with proficiency rates in grades 3-5 (around 33-37%) falling well below state averages. The school serves a relatively low-poverty population compared to its district peers, with only 42% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Nash Elementary (89%) and Westlawn Elementary (94%). This economic advantage makes Waggoner Creek a relative standout within its district, but it cannot match the performance of schools in neighboring districts, such as Red Lick Elementary (96th percentile) or Pleasant Grove Intermediate (79th percentile), which achieve higher rankings despite similar or even higher poverty rates.

One interesting factor is the school’s proximity to the district’s magnet school, Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary, a top-15 school in Texas. This may draw away some of Waggoner Creek’s highest-performing students, potentially suppressing its overall rankings. Additionally, the school shows inconsistent support for key student groups, with special education and at-risk students experiencing dramatic swings in performance from year to year. For parents, Waggoner Creek offers a solid foundation in reading within a supportive, lower-poverty environment, but families should be aware of the math gap and the school’s fluctuating support for diverse learners.
