Summary

Bishop Elementary in Bishop, TX, serves 232 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Bishop Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the top 10% of Texas districts.

This school stands out as a true "math powerhouse," especially in 4th grade, where an impressive 84.81% of students were proficient in math—far exceeding the state average of 49.28%. This strength is consistent year after year and dramatically outpaces nearby schools like Harvey Elementary and Harrel Elementary in the Kingsville Independent School District (Isd), which typically rank in the bottom 20% of Texas schools. However, 3rd grade math is a notable challenge, with only 37.88% of students proficient—below the state average. This creates a dramatic "catch-up" effect, suggesting a highly effective 4th-grade math team that helps students make remarkable gains. The school also excels at supporting its Hispanic and low socio-economic status students, who ranked in the 88th percentile statewide in recent years, showing a strong commitment to closing achievement gaps.

While Bishop Elementary shines in reading and math, 5th grade science remains a consistent area for growth, with only 34.62% of students proficient—though this is still above the state average. For context, nearby Banquete Elementary and Driscoll Elementary & Middle struggle even more in science. Interestingly, the school's feeder, Bishop Pri (PK-2), serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, yet Bishop Elementary builds on that foundation to achieve strong results. The district's other elementary, Petronila Elementary, achieves near-perfect scores but has a much smaller enrollment of 110 students, making its results more variable. Overall, Bishop Elementary is a solid, mid-to-upper-tier school that delivers consistent excellence in math and reading while effectively supporting its diverse student body.
