Summary

Brewster Elementary in Edinburg, TX, is a PK-8 school serving 332 students within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, and it stands out as a high-performing academic leader in a region where many nearby schools face significant challenges.

Brewster Elementary consistently earns 3- and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This is dramatically higher than most of its peers, such as Zavala Elementary (1-star) and Lasara Elementary (0-star). The school excels in upper elementary and middle school math, with 84% of 4th and 5th graders proficient in math, compared to district averages around 50-55%. It also shows exceptional Algebra I readiness, with 93% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam versus just 55% district-wide. A key factor is its low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is much smaller than nearby schools like Truman Elementary (15.1) and Villarreal Elementary (17.4), allowing for more personalized instruction.

However, Brewster has a notable weakness: a significant drop in math performance in 6th and 7th grades, with only 32% of 6th graders and 14% of 7th graders proficient. This "middle school math slump" is a clear area for improvement, though the school rebounds strongly by 8th grade. Despite this, Brewster is a standout in its district, which itself ranks only in the 60th percentile statewide. Its higher per-student spending ($15,597) compared to peers like Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary ($11,318) likely supports its smaller classes and strong outcomes. For parents seeking a school that consistently outperforms its neighbors, Brewster Elementary offers a compelling option, especially for students in elementary and early middle school grades.
