House Creek EL

House Creek Elementary earns an Exceptional composite score of 9.0 out of 10, placing it 136th among 8,547 public schools in Texas — a ranking that puts it ahead of 98% of the state. For a regular public elementary school in a mid-sized military community, that standing is striking. Kindergarten through fifth grade students here benefit from a 13.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, keeping class sizes manageable and instruction personal across all 579 enrolled students.

The academic score of 8.9 reflects strong proficiency results, but growth is where House Creek truly separates itself. A 9.8 growth score — nearly perfect — means students are advancing faster than their starting points predict, regardless of where they enter. That trajectory matters most for families evaluating long-term outcomes, not just a single year's snapshot.

Within Copperas Cove, House Creek ranks first among all 11 public schools in the district. Statewide, it sits 90th out of 4,678 elementary schools — a top-2% finish in the most competitive elementary landscape in the country by sheer volume. Families prioritizing academic momentum and consistent instruction will find the data here unusually consistent: every category scores in the upper tier, with no meaningful weak points pulling the composite down.
