Summary:
Zip code 77565 is home to a single school, Lavace Stewart Elementary, a public school serving grades PK through 5 with 660 students as part of the highly-rated Clear Creek Independent School District (ISD).
Lavace Stewart Elementary stands out for its exceptional Spanish-language program in the early grades, where 3rd graders achieved 80% proficiency in Reading and 60% in Math—far exceeding district and state averages. However, the school shows a clear pattern of declining performance as students progress, with 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency dropping to just 15%. In English assessments, 3rd-grade Reading (61.76%) matches the district average, but by 5th grade, proficiency falls to 50.6%, well below the district's 68.9%. Math scores are a consistent weakness, with 4th-grade proficiency at 46.43% compared to the district's 60.86%. The most concerning metric is 5th-grade Science, where only 19.27% of students were proficient, significantly lower than both the district (33.93%) and state (29.57%).
The school serves a population where 60.61% of students are economically disadvantaged, yet the strong 3rd-grade results demonstrate high potential. The key challenge is sustaining that early success through upper elementary grades, particularly in Math and Science. The school has a 15:1 student-to-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $10,694. Its state ranking has improved slightly, moving from the 54th percentile to the 61st percentile over the last three years, earning a 3-star rating. Parents should note the school's effective early intervention programs but be aware of the need for additional support in 4th and 5th grade, especially in Science and Math.
