Forest Creek Elementary

Summary:

Forest Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Round Rock, Texas, serving 680 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Round Rock Independent School District, which is ranked 216 out of 968 districts in the state.

Forest Creek Elementary consistently ranks in the top 15-20% of Texas elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. For example, in 2023-2024, 73.68% of 5th graders at Forest Creek were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 72.21% for the district and 53.96% for the state. The school also has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 53.82% White, 22.35% Hispanic, 9.85% Asian, and 7.5% African American, which is higher than some nearby schools like Double File Trail Elementary and Neysa Callison Elementary.

While Forest Creek Elementary excels for its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools, the school's performance for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools. This highlights the need for the school and district to focus on addressing the educational needs of these underperforming subgroups. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Forest Creek generally outperforms them in academic achievement, but some nearby schools in the Pflugerville Independent School District, such as Murchison Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
