Summary:
There are four elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 in zip code 76643 (Hewitt, TX), all part of the highly-rated Midway Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.
The standout schools in this area are Park Hill Elementary and Spring Valley Elementary, which consistently outperform their peers. Park Hill is the current top performer, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 90th percentile, with strong Reading (73.2%) and Math (70.6%) proficiency. Spring Valley has a history of being the strongest, having ranked in the 95th percentile just two years ago, and still excels with 73.4% Reading proficiency and a standout 58.54% in 5th Grade Science. In contrast, Castleman Creek Elementary and Hewitt Elementary lag behind, ranking in the 60th-70th percentile range. Castleman Creek struggles significantly in 3rd Grade Math (37.65% proficient), while Hewitt shows a surprising strength in 5th Grade Science (46.43%) despite lower overall scores.
A key takeaway is the clear performance gap between the two higher-performing schools and the two lower-performing ones, which correlates with socioeconomic factors. Park Hill and Spring Valley have lower free/reduced lunch rates (39-42%) compared to Castleman Creek and Hewitt (56-60%). Additionally, Science is a consistent weakness across all schools except Spring Valley, and inconsistent grade-level performance suggests that no single school excels uniformly. This creates a "two-tier" system within the same district, where families may see significant differences in educational opportunity depending on which school their child attends.
