Summary:
The city of Edcouch, Texas is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (Isd). These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 90% to 98%.
Among the standout schools, Santiago Garcia Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, particularly in 4th grade, outperforming the district and state averages. As the only middle school in the data set, David Ybarra Fine Arts Academy stands out for its performance on 6th grade STAAR assessments, matching the district average but still below the state average.
However, the data reveals a district-wide struggle, with all schools performing significantly below state averages on standardized assessments. The extremely high poverty levels and low funding per student, ranging from $10,269 to $13,647 per student, may be contributing factors to the schools' challenges. Addressing these systemic issues could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in Edcouch.
