Summary

Colmesneil Elementary is a small PK-6 school in Colmesneil, TX, serving 220 students within the Colmesneil Independent School District (Isd), where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has recently surged to its highest state ranking in years.

Colmesneil Elementary is currently experiencing a dramatic turnaround, jumping to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026 after a sharp drop the previous year. This is a strong contrast to nearby schools like Zavalla Elementary and Woodville Elementary, which remain in the bottom quartile. The school’s most impressive academic metric is its 6th Grade Reading proficiency, where 70% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, significantly outperforming the state average of 53.52%. Interestingly, the school shows a "gender gap" that favors male students, ranking in the 60th percentile for boys but only the 34th percentile for girls, suggesting instructional strategies may be particularly effective for male students. However, a critical weakness exists in Special Education services, where the school ranked in the 0th percentile in 2024-2025, a catastrophic collapse from the 75th percentile just a few years prior.

Compared to Chester Elementary, just 10 miles away, Colmesneil operates with fewer resources per student ($9,387 vs. $12,002) and larger class sizes, yet still manages to improve its overall ranking. Math remains a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates below the state average in every grade level, particularly in 6th Grade Math (26.67% proficient). The school’s performance with "At Risk" students is volatile, suggesting support systems are not stable and may depend heavily on the specific cohort of students each year. While Colmesneil is operating efficiently with a leaner budget, increased investment in Special Education and Math intervention could unlock even greater performance.
