Summary

Mims Elementary in Mission, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Mission Consolidated Independent School District serving 673 students, and it stands out as a top performer in the area with a consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 72nd percentile statewide. This school has maintained strong academic performance for years, never dropping below a 3-star rating since 2016, which is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Carl C Waitz Elementary (1-star) and Ollie O'Grady Elementary (2-star). Even within its own district, Mims leads the pack, outperforming Marcell Elementary, Bryan Elementary, and Hurla M Midkiff Elementary (all 3-star).

One of the most impressive findings is Mims' exceptional performance in 5th-grade math, where 65.52% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outpacing the district (46.61%) and state (47.38%). This is a recurring trend, with Mims consistently scoring well above peers in upper-grade math, and it even surpasses the strong math scores at Enrique Kiki Camarena Elementary (59.6%) from the La Joya Independent School District (Isd). The school also excels in supporting its diverse student body, ranking in the 80th percentile for Hispanic students and the 73rd percentile for low socioeconomic status students, showing that success is broadly shared. Additionally, Mims' bilingual program appears highly effective, with 66.67% of 4th graders taking the STAAR Spanish Reading test achieving proficiency, compared to just 37.14% statewide.

While Mims is a strong school, there are areas for growth, particularly for special education students (51st percentile) and gifted and talented students (51st percentile), which could be improved with focused resources. The school serves a student population where about 69% are economically disadvantaged, a lower rate than many nearby schools like Carl C Waitz Elementary (97.51%) and Ollie O'Grady Elementary (91.68%). Overall, Mims Elementary offers a stable, high-quality education with a proven track record of academic excellence, especially in math, making it a top choice for families in the Mission area.
