Summary

El Jardin Elementary is a public elementary school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 399 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Brownsville Independent School District.

While El Jardin Elementary has seen an increase in per-student funding in recent years, the school's academic performance has remained consistently below the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are projected to be lower than the district and state in 2024-2025, particularly in science where only 18.37% of 5th graders are expected to be proficient or better, compared to 34.2% for the district and 29.57% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students and English Language Learners struggling the most.

Compared to nearby schools within the Brownsville Independent School District, such as Del Castillo Elementary, Garza Elementary, and Pena Elementary, El Jardin Elementary generally underperforms on STAAR tests and has a lower statewide ranking. However, the school does perform relatively well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top third of Texas elementary schools in this category.
