Summary

Nellie Mae Glass Elementary in Eagle Pass, TX, serves 438 students in grades 1 through 6 within the Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd), a community where over 75% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable ability to support students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for effectiveness with this group in the 2025-2026 school year. This is a significant achievement compared to nearby schools like Seco Mines Elementary and Juan N Seguin Elementary, which have similar or higher poverty rates but lower overall rankings. While the school has experienced performance swings over the years, it has shown a strong pattern of resilience, bouncing back from a 39th percentile ranking in 2024-2025 to a 66th percentile ranking in 2025-2026. This volatility contrasts with the more consistent downward trends seen at some peers, such as Benavides Heights Elementary.

A key strength is reading, where 5th and 6th graders consistently outperform state averages—for example, 67.65% of 5th graders were proficient in reading in 2025-2026, compared to 58.47% statewide. However, math is a notable challenge, especially in 5th grade, where proficiency has been persistently low (35.82% in 2025-2026). Science is also a weak point, with only about 9% of 5th graders proficient in recent years. The school’s Spanish-language program shows promise in 4th-grade reading but struggles in other subjects. Despite serving a higher-need population than top-performing nearby schools like Liberty Elementary (84th percentile, 53.62% FRL) and Armando Cerna Elementary (81st percentile, 58.67% FRL), Nellie Mae Glass achieves a respectable overall ranking, highlighting the effectiveness of its targeted strategies for economically disadvantaged students.
