Summary

Jubilee Living Way is a public charter elementary school in Brownsville, TX, serving 363 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a community where 84.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school has experienced a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 59th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 89th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. Its standout strength is mathematics, where proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (67%, 83%, and 81%) far exceed state averages and even surpass top-performing neighbors like Pullam Elementary and Benavides Elementary. The school is especially effective with its low-income and Hispanic students, ranking in the 97th and 95th percentiles respectively for those subgroups—a 5-star rating that outperforms even the highest-ranked nearby schools. This success is even more impressive given that Jubilee Living Way spends less per student ($9,170) than every nearby public school competitor, suggesting highly efficient use of resources.

However, the school shares a common regional challenge in 5th-grade science, where only 20.75% of students are proficient—below the state average and similar to struggles at Martin Elementary (14.81%) and Garden Park Elementary (15.69%). Interestingly, while the school excels with most students, its Gifted and Talented program ranks only in the 46th percentile, indicating a potential need for more enrichment for high-achievers. The contrast with nearby Harmony Science Academy - Brownsville, another charter school in the same area that languishes in the 30th percentile, shows that school-specific leadership and practices—not just the charter label—drive success. Overall, Jubilee Living Way now competes directly with top-tier schools like Ortiz Elementary and Benavides Elementary, a remarkable achievement for a school that was ranked nearly 1,500 places lower just a few years ago.
