Summary

Freddy Gonzalez Elementary in Edinburg, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 517 students within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for five consecutive years, placing it in the 82nd-89th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional performance with its core student population, ranking in the 96th percentile for Hispanic students and the 93rd percentile for low socio-economic status students in the 2024-2025 school year. This means Freddy Gonzalez is not just a high performer overall, but is especially effective at helping all students succeed, regardless of their background.

When you compare Freddy Gonzalez to nearby schools, its achievements become even more impressive. For example, Canterbury Elementary (0.84 miles away) also performs in the 90th percentile, but it serves a student population with a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (41.48%) compared to Freddy Gonzalez's 60.15%. This shows that Freddy Gonzalez is achieving similar top-tier results with a higher-needs student body. In contrast, schools like Travis Elementary (1.99 miles away) and Lee Elementary (1.16 miles away) rank in the 42nd and 50th percentiles respectively, highlighting that Freddy Gonzalez is a high-performing outlier in a neighborhood with significant economic diversity.

The school also demonstrated remarkable resilience after the pandemic, dropping to the 48th percentile in 2020-2021 but rebounding to the 82nd percentile the very next year and maintaining that high level. While its reading and math scores consistently outpace district and state averages, science scores have been more volatile, suggesting a potential area for focus. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 93rd percentile, making it a strong option for families seeking advanced learning opportunities. Overall, Freddy Gonzalez Elementary is a standout choice for families in the Edinburg area, offering consistent excellence and a proven track record of supporting all students.
