Summary

Farias-Spitzer Elementary is a PK-5 school in New Braunfels, TX, serving 588 students within the highly-rated Comal Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional ability to support students from low socio-economic backgrounds, consistently ranking in the 80th-84th percentile statewide for this group.

This school has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and shows a strong, recent upward trend in math scores, with 4th-grade proficiency jumping from 46% to 56% and 5th-grade from 48% to 55% in the last year. This improvement is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like Goodwin Frazier Elementary, which has a similar demographic profile but saw more volatile math performance. However, the school has a clear weakness in 5th-grade science, where only 22% of students were proficient, a figure well below the state and district averages. Additionally, support for special education students has been inconsistent, with performance swinging dramatically from the 81st to the 38th percentile in recent years.

An interesting comparison can be made with Lamar Elementary, a top-performing school in the New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd) located just 1.8 miles away. While Lamar outperforms Farias-Spitzer across most subjects, Farias-Spitzer’s strength with its low-income students is a key differentiator. The school also shows a notable strength in supporting its African American students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide. To move from a solid 3-star rating to a 4-star school, Farias-Spitzer will need to address its persistent science gap and stabilize its special education programs.
