Clift Elementary

Waxahachie has a lot of small-town charm — historic courthouse square, a tight-knit community feel — but Clift Elementary sits in a part of the district where families may want to dig deeper before enrolling. Academic performance here tends to trail behind other schools in the area, particularly in math, so parents who prioritize strong core instruction might want to explore other options within Waxahachie ISD or look into supplemental support. That said, families already rooted in this neighborhood will find a community that genuinely cares about its kids, even as the school works to close some persistent achievement gaps.
