Summary

Yturria Elementary in Brownsville, TX, serves 526 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Brownsville Independent School District (Isd), and is a consistently strong performer that excels at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, with over 80% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Yturria’s standout strength is its exceptional success with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the top 12% of all Texas schools for this group—a remarkable achievement that outpaces many nearby schools, including the higher-performing Pullam Elementary (which has a lower poverty rate) and significantly outperforming Keller Elementary, which serves a similar population. However, the school faces a persistent gender gap: female students consistently score higher than male students, a challenge that is more pronounced here than at neighboring schools like Benavides Elementary or Pullam. On a positive note, Yturria has shown a dramatic turnaround in 5th-grade science, nearly doubling its proficiency rate in one year to surpass both district and state averages, indicating effective curriculum improvements.

While Yturria is a solid, 4-star school, it sits in a competitive neighborhood surrounded by top-tier schools like Benavides and Pullam, which consistently rank in the top 10% of Texas. This proximity may drive Yturria’s own improvement efforts. The school’s performance with Gifted and Talented students has been inconsistent, recently jumping to a 4-star rating after a period of lower scores, suggesting a need for more stable enrichment. Notably, Yturria’s success is not tied to high spending—its per-student cost is moderate compared to peers—and it holds its own against high-performing charter schools like Bryss Academy, while nearby charters like Idea Sports Park Academy struggle. Overall, Yturria is a resilient and reliable option for families, especially those seeking strong support for students from low-income backgrounds.
