Summary

Juarez/Lincoln Elementary in Rio Bravo, TX, serves 535 students in grades PK-5 within the United Independent School District (Isd), and is a school on a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 26th percentile statewide five years ago to the 64th percentile today. This consistent improvement is especially impressive given that over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school excels at supporting these learners—ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for serving low-income students, far outpacing nearby schools like Kennedy Zapata Elementary (74th percentile overall) and Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary (67th percentile).

A standout feature is the school’s Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 98th percentile statewide—a 5-star rating that no other nearby school matches. Additionally, Juarez/Lincoln shows strong math growth in upper grades: 5th-grade math proficiency (66.22%) is the highest among all nearby UISD schools and well above the state average (47.38%). While 3rd-grade reading and math scores lag behind district averages, the school successfully accelerates learning by 5th grade, suggesting effective interventions in the intermediate years. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, allowing for more individualized attention.

Juarez/Lincoln uses its resources efficiently, spending $10,803 per student—less than Kennedy Zapata Elementary ($12,182) but achieving better results for low-income students. Science remains a shared challenge, with 5th-grade proficiency at 34.18% (above the state average of 29.57% but still low). Overall, this school is a success story of sustained improvement, proving that a high-poverty school can deliver strong academic outcomes and exceptional support for its most vulnerable students.
