Summary

Clark Elementary is a small, public PK-5 school in Laredo, TX, serving 354 students within the United Independent School District (Isd) and serving a community where about 89% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Clark Elementary stands out for its exceptional ability to help students from low-income backgrounds achieve strong academic results. The school ranks in the 93rd percentile for its low socio-economic status students, a remarkable feat that surpasses many nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Amparo Gutierrez Elementary, which has a similar percentage of students from low-income families, ranks much lower overall. Clark also shows a powerful trend in 5th-grade math, where 76.92% of students were proficient—a full 30 points above the state average. Additionally, the school’s bilingual program is a clear strength, with over 83% of 4th graders proficient in the Spanish-language reading test, compared to just 29% statewide. This strong foundation in native language literacy is a key building block for future success.

While Clark is a solid performer, it does have areas for growth. Third-grade math proficiency (40%) is below both district and state averages, suggesting a need to strengthen the transition to more complex concepts. The school also has room to improve in 5th-grade science. It is worth noting that while Clark is a standout within its own district, it is located near some exceptionally high-performing schools in the Laredo Independent School District (Isd), such as Farias Elementary and Leyendecker Elementary. However, Clark’s effective use of resources—spending less per student than some lower-performing peers—shows a strong commitment to maximizing student outcomes, particularly for its economically disadvantaged and bilingual learners.
