Summary

Sigifredo Perez Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the United Independent School District (Isd) in Laredo, TX, serving 588 students in a high-poverty area where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround and exceptional support for specific student groups. After ranking in the 7th percentile statewide in 2016, Perez has climbed to the 65th percentile, earning a 3-star rating for three consecutive years. Most notably, the school excels with its low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—far surpassing nearby UISD peers like Ruiz Elementary (73rd) and Franklin D Roosevelt Elementary (67th), and even outperforming high-performing LISD schools like J Kawas Elementary (84th). The school also shows outstanding support for special education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile with a 5-star rating—a massive outlier compared to nearby schools like Rodolfo C Centeno Elementary (28th) and Prada Elementary (18th). Additionally, gifted and talented students rank in the 92nd percentile for two consecutive years, a dramatic improvement from 45th percentile just two years prior.

While Perez shows a consistent "3rd grade spike" in math—with 68% proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding district (50%) and state (45%) averages—the school faces a clear "upper-grade slump" in 4th and 5th grades. For example, 5th-grade math dropped to 40% in 2025-2026. Science remains a universal weakness across the area, with Perez's 22% proficiency in 5th-grade science below the district (31%) but not an outlier compared to even top LISD schools like H B Zachry Elementary (52%). The school spends $11,332 per student with a low student-teacher ratio of 14.3, suggesting effective resource allocation drives its targeted support programs.
