Summary

Lyndon B Johnson Elementary in Elsa, TX, is a K-5 school serving 470 students in the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has recently shown a promising upward trend in academic performance after several years of low state rankings.

This school stands out as the top-performing elementary in its district, ranking in the 29th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, which is a significant improvement from its 12th percentile low just three years prior. In comparison, nearby district schools like Santiago Garcia Elementary (19th percentile), Ruben C Rodriguez Elementary (10th percentile), and John F Kennedy Elementary (7th percentile) all rank lower. However, a striking contrast is Idea Elsa Academy, a charter school just 0.29 miles away that serves a similar high-poverty community but ranks in the 75th percentile, with much higher proficiency rates in subjects like 3rd-grade reading (63.71% vs. LBJ's 48.15%). This gap suggests that while high achievement is possible in the area, LBJ has not yet matched that success.

Academically, LBJ shows strength in 5th-grade reading (43.84% proficient) and math (45.21% proficient), both outperforming district averages. Yet, there are notable weaknesses, particularly in 4th-grade math, where only 26.25% of students are proficient—far below the state average of 49.28%. The school also struggles with inconsistent support for English Language Learners, with rankings swinging from the bottom 7% to the 35th percentile in recent years. Despite these challenges, LBJ is relatively effective with its low-income students, ranking in the 33rd percentile for that group, slightly above its overall rank. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 and a per-student spending of $10,558, the school is a bright spot in a district that ranks 866th out of 951 in Texas, but parents should weigh its recent improvements against the strong performance of nearby charter options.
