Summary:
The San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District serves approximately 8,700 students across 13 schools, including 8 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools, and is ranked in the 30th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, reflecting significant academic challenges.
The district is defined by a stark contrast between a few standout schools and many struggling ones. The top performer is Del Rio Early College High School, ranked in the 94th percentile (5 stars), with exceptional test scores (e.g., 89.3% proficient in Biology), a 98.1% graduation rate, and the lowest per-student spending ($5,165). Another bright spot is Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet, a 4-star school (82nd percentile) where 5th-grade Math proficiency reached 100% and Science scores (69.2%) far exceed the district average (14.7%). In contrast, Blended Academy is the lowest-performing school (5th percentile, 0 stars), with a 75% graduation rate and near-zero test scores in some subjects, while Ruben Chavira Elementary has dropped to the 3rd percentile (0 stars) with 4th-grade Reading at just 18.25%.
Key district-wide issues include a "middle school math crisis," with 6th-grade Math proficiency at Del Rio Middle at only 25.22%, and a "science gap" where 5th-grade Science scores average just 14.67%, with Garfield Elementary at 0.92%. Notably, spending does not guarantee success: Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet spends the most per student ($12,859) and performs well, but Del Rio Early College High School spends the least ($5,165) and achieves the best results. A positive finding is that advanced middle school students taking high school courses at Del Rio Middle and San Felipe Memorial Middle achieve near-perfect scores, showing potential for scaling success.
