Summary:
The Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District operates 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the cities of Los Fresnos, Brownsville, and San Benito. The district faces challenges related to student poverty, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.
Among the elementary schools, Rancho Verde Elementary and Olmito Elementary stand out as top performers, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Texas. These schools excel in both reading and math, with proficiency rates significantly above the district and state averages. In contrast, other schools like Las Yescas Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state.
Across the district, student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 13.8 to 17.7 students per teacher, which is favorable for student learning. However, the data suggests potential language barriers, with several schools having lower proficiency rates on Spanish-language assessments. Continued focus on academic growth and achievement should be a priority for the district as it works to address the challenges faced by its high-need student population.
