Summary

Bovina Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Bovina, Texas, with an enrollment of 214 students. The school is part of the Bovina Independent School District, which is ranked 823 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bovina Elementary consistently performs below the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.25% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Migrant students. Additionally, Bovina Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84% to 88.79% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the nearby Friona Elementary and Farwell Elementary schools, Bovina Elementary is unable to translate this higher spending into better academic outcomes for its students. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 2,388 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 4,251 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school is struggling to improve student outcomes, and the nearby Farwell Elementary, which is part of a higher-performing school district, significantly outperforms Bovina Elementary on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects.
