Summary:
The Beeville Independent School District (Isd) serves three elementary-level schools in a high-poverty area of Texas, where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, including two standard elementary schools for grades 1-5 and one early childhood center for Pre-K through Kindergarten.
Among the elementary schools, Fadden-McKeown-Chambliss Elementary stands out as the math leader, consistently achieving the highest 4th Grade Math proficiency rates in the district—56.00% in 2024-2025 and 51.69% in 2025-2026—both exceeding the state average, a feat no other Beeville school matched in any subject or grade. In contrast, R A Hall Elementary shines in 5th Grade Science, with a 34.09% proficiency rate that not only topped the district but also beat the state average of 29.57%, making it the only instance where a Beeville school outperformed the state in any subject. Meanwhile, Hampton-Moreno-Dugat Early Childhood Center focuses on foundational learning, spending the most per student ($11,092) but having the largest class sizes (19.6:1), suggesting investment in specialized resources rather than smaller classes.
Overall, the district faces significant academic challenges, with both elementary schools ranking in the bottom third of Texas schools and declining in percentile rank from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026. However, the standout performances in 4th Grade Math at Fadden-McKeown-Chambliss and 5th Grade Science at R A Hall offer promising models for improvement. The 4th Grade Math success was notably volatile, with R A Hall dropping from 45.56% to 31.03% in one year, while Fadden-McKeown-Chambliss remained strong. These bright spots suggest that targeted instructional strategies could be replicated across the district to boost overall performance.
