Summary

Egly Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Brownsville Independent School District (Isd), serving 520 students in a high-poverty area where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Egly Elementary shows a unique pattern of strengths and challenges. The school has developed a notable "5th Grade Bounce," where its 5th graders consistently outperform district and state averages in both Reading and Mathematics, a trend that has held for several years. However, this success does not extend to younger grades, as 3rd and 4th graders often fall below district averages. This contrasts with nearby high-performing schools like Sharp Elementary (76th percentile) and Hudson Elementary (67th percentile), which show more consistent performance across all grade levels. Egly also excels with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 64th percentile for this subgroup—a significant strength compared to many neighboring schools. Additionally, the school has been consistently effective with its Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, ranking in the 60th percentile or higher for three consecutive years. However, the school struggles significantly with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 15th percentile, and its Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 22nd percentile. This is a stark contrast to its success with "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 86th percentile in a recent year.

Despite spending more per student ($12,851) than nearby schools like Sharp Elementary ($11,143) and Hudson Elementary ($10,893), Egly's overall ranking (49th percentile) lags behind these more efficient peers. The comparison to Canales Elementary, a nearby school with a similar demographic profile but a ranking in the 9th percentile, shows that Egly's strategies are working better for many students. The school's inconsistent performance across grade levels and subgroups suggests that reallocating resources toward early-grade instruction and special education support could help it achieve the stability and higher rankings seen by its more successful neighbors.
