Summary

Maude Mae Kirchner Elementary is a small, rural PK-6 school in Quemado, TX, serving 108 students as part of the Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its remarkable academic turnaround. After a challenging period during the pandemic, it has surged from the 33rd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. This rapid improvement is unique among nearby schools. For example, while Armando Cerna Elementary and Liberty Elementary are consistently high-performing, they are not showing the same rate of growth. A key strength is upper-grade math: in 2025-2026, 75% of 5th graders and 58.33% of 6th graders were proficient, far exceeding district and state averages. This is a significant differentiator, as nearby schools like Nellie Mae Glass Elementary saw only 35.82% proficiency in 5th-grade math. The school also excels with its student body, earning 4-star ratings for male, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status students, showing broad-based success.

With a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, class sizes are much smaller than at nearby schools like San Luis Elementary (17.4:1) or Armando Cerna Elementary (17.2:1), supported by higher per-student spending. While the school shines in math and reading, 5th-grade science scores remain an area for growth, with only 20% proficiency in 2024-2025. Overall, Maude Mae Kirchner is a rural gem that is outperforming many larger schools in the district, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a supportive, high-growth environment.
