Summary

Henry B Gonzalez Elementary in Eagle Pass, TX, serves 401 students in 1st through 6th grade and is part of the Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd), with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 8th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026—its best ranking in nearly a decade. This recent improvement sets it apart from nearby schools like Sam Houston Elementary, which has remained stagnant in the bottom 11th percentile, and Benavides Heights Elementary, which has seen a slight decline.

A standout strength is the school's exceptional performance with its most economically disadvantaged students. In the 2025-2026 school year, Henry B Gonzalez ranked in the 52nd percentile for serving low socio-economic status students, earning 3 stars—significantly higher than its overall rank. This is a key differentiator, as nearby Ray H Darr Elementary (0.56 miles away) has a similar demographic profile but is a consistently higher-performing school, ranking in the 58th percentile. The proximity of Ray H Darr shows that high performance is achievable within the same community, raising the question of what strategies they use that Henry B Gonzalez could adopt, particularly in math.

The school's performance tells a clear story of strength in reading versus a critical need in math. In 2025-2026, reading proficiency rates (44.83% to 54.35%) were competitive with district and state averages, while math proficiency rates (29.23% to 39.58%) were dramatically lower—for example, only 29.23% of 4th graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 49.28%. The school's future success hinges on replicating its reading gains in mathematics and stabilizing performance across student subgroups. The nearby success of Perfecto Mancha Elementary (70th percentile) serves as a benchmark for what's possible within the district, suggesting that Henry B Gonzalez's upward trajectory, if sustained, could lead to even greater achievements.
