Summary

Hargill Elementary in Hargill, TX, is a PK-5 campus within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District that serves 520 students in a rural, high-poverty community where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Hargill Elementary has experienced a dramatic and sustained academic decline over the past several years. The school went from a strong 71st-percentile ranking statewide in 2019 to a 1-star, 18th-percentile ranking in 2026. This is a stark contrast to nearby Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary, which serves a similar demographic just 9.6 miles away but has maintained a consistent 4-star, 77th-percentile ranking over the same period. Math proficiency is a particular concern at Hargill—4th-grade math scores were just 24.69% in the most recent testing year, compared to the district average of 55.49% and the state average of 49.28%. While reading scores are below average too, 5th-grade reading showed some relative strength at 52.24%, suggesting a potential bright spot to build upon.

Interestingly, Hargill’s per-student spending ($11,234) is actually higher than several higher-performing district peers, including Dr. Kay Teer Crawford ($10,491), indicating that funding alone isn’t the issue. The school has also shown remarkable success with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, the school’s ability to serve other student populations—including At-Risk and Migrant students, where it previously excelled—has declined significantly. This pattern suggests that Hargill was severely impacted by the pandemic and has struggled to recover, even as similar schools in the district have maintained their performance.
