Summary

Ray H Darr Elementary in Eagle Pass, TX, serves 383 students in 1st through 6th grade within the Eagle Pass Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a school that achieves strong academic results despite serving a community where over 98% of students face economic disadvantage.

This school has shown remarkable improvement in recent years, climbing from a pandemic-era low to a consistent 3-star rating and ranking in the 58th percentile statewide. What truly sets Ray H Darr apart is its exceptional performance with students who are economically disadvantaged and English Language Learners, ranking in the 79th and 77th percentiles respectively for these groups. This is a significant achievement when compared to nearby schools like Henry B Gonzalez Elementary, which serves a similar population but ranks much lower overall. For example, in 4th grade math, Ray H Darr students scored 54% proficient compared to just 29% at Gonzalez. The school also excels in 5th grade, where students outperform state averages in both reading and math, suggesting a strong teaching team at that grade level.

However, parents should be aware of a key challenge: the school struggles significantly with its Special Education students, ranking in the 14th percentile for this group. This is a sharp contrast to its success with other subgroups and indicates an area needing improvement. Additionally, while 5th grade is a peak year, 6th grade scores drop below state averages, which may be a concern for families planning ahead. Overall, Ray H Darr is a school that has demonstrated a powerful ability to help students from challenging circumstances succeed, making it a strong option in the Eagle Pass area, though families with children in special education may want to ask about support programs.
