Summary

Olmito Elementary is a high-performing public school in Brownsville, TX, serving 538 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District.

What truly sets Olmito Elementary apart is its exceptional ability to help all students succeed, regardless of economic background. The school ranks in the 98th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, a rare achievement that shows the school is closing achievement gaps school-wide. This is paired with outstanding performance for its Hispanic students (97th percentile) and consistent strength across all student groups, including Gifted and Talented (93rd percentile) and Special Education (87th percentile). After a pandemic-related dip in 2020-2021, the school has shown a remarkable rebound, climbing from the 81st to the 93rd percentile statewide over the last five years. In nearly every subject and grade level, Olmito students significantly outperform both district and state averages—for example, 3rd-grade Reading proficiency reached 80.82% compared to the district's 59.83% and the state's 51.08%.

When compared to nearby schools, Olmito stands out dramatically. It outperforms its district peers like Villareal Elementary (78th percentile) and Dora Romero Elementary (75th percentile), while rivaling top performer Rancho Verde Elementary (92nd percentile). The contrast is even starker with schools from other districts just miles away—Idea Sports Park Academy, located only 0.75 miles away, ranks in the 15th percentile. This highlights the powerful impact of school and district leadership on student outcomes. One area for potential focus is 5th-grade Mathematics, where proficiency (64.44%) remains above the state average (47.38%) but is the lowest among all tested subjects.
