Summary

Prada Elementary is a public elementary school located in Laredo, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 743 students. It is part of the United Independent School District (UISD), which is ranked 297 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prada Elementary has consistently ranked in the lower half of Prada Elementary's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. However, the school has shown some strengths in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special education needs. Prada Elementary also has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Prada Elementary to the nearby schools in the same United Independent School District, it becomes clear that Prada faces unique challenges, particularly in terms of student performance and socioeconomic status. The nearby schools, while still facing challenges, generally perform better on STAAR tests and have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that Prada Elementary may require more targeted support and resources from the district to address its specific needs and improve student outcomes.
