Timber Ridge Elementary

Timber Ridge Elementary sits in Killeen, a Central Texas city shaped heavily by its proximity to Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos), meaning military families make up a big part of the community here. The school lands in the mid-range academically, with scores that reflect the real challenges of serving a highly transient population — something that comes with the territory in a military town where families rotate in and out regularly. For families stationed at Fort Cavazos looking for a neighborhood school with a community that understands the military lifestyle, Timber Ridge offers a familiar, welcoming environment even if it isn't the top academic performer in the region.
