Summary

McGill Elementary is a K-5 school in San Angelo, TX, serving 506 students within the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd). The school has historically faced significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. While its current ranking places it in the 17th percentile statewide, this represents a slight improvement from its lowest point in 2018-2019, when it ranked in the 2nd percentile. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with approximately 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

McGill Elementary underperforms the district and state averages in every subject and grade level tested. For the 2024-2025 school year, proficiency rates were significantly below the district average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Reading and Mathematics, and critically low in 5th Grade Science (10% vs. 20.3% district and 29.6% state). This is a stark contrast with nearby high-performing schools like Ft Concho Elementary (93rd percentile, 5-star) and Santa Rita Elementary (87th percentile, 4-star). For example, in 5th Grade Mathematics for 2024-2025, McGill had a 21.8% proficiency rate, while Santa Rita had 84.6% and Ft. Concho had 66.7%. This highlights a significant disparity in educational outcomes within the same district and geographic area.

Interestingly, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending ($9,647 in 2020-2021) does not translate into better results, as the high-performing Ft. Concho spends less ($7,999) and Santa Rita spends $8,204. This suggests the issue is not a lack of resources, but likely how those resources are allocated and the effectiveness of instructional strategies. However, there is a recent uptick in performance, with 5th Grade Reading (42.4%) and Math (39.5%) showing improvement. The presence of Glenmore Elementary, which has a similar poverty rate (64.6%) but ranks in the 70th percentile statewide (4-star), proves that high performance is achievable even with a significant low-income population, making McGill's struggles more acute.

Open Quote Teachers are very awful they don't have compassion or care about their students. I've never seen so many rude office staff or teachers in my life. Would never recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
