Summary

Cano-Gonzalez Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, serving 399 students in a predominantly low-income area of Edinburg, TX, where 75.9% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional work with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide for this group—a strength not seen at nearby schools like Lee Elementary or Betts Elementary, which have similar poverty rates. However, the school shows a "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern: while it excels with Hispanic and low-income students, it struggles significantly with special education students, who ranked in the 19th percentile—a sharp drop from two years prior. Math performance is also inconsistent, with 4th graders scoring well above district averages (69.44% proficient) while 5th graders lag behind (41.79% proficient). The most glaring weakness is 5th-grade science, where only 18.75% of students were proficient, far below the district and state averages.

Despite these challenges, Cano-Gonzalez is on a clear upward trajectory, rebounding from a low point in 2020-2021 to a 60th percentile ranking in 2025-2026. It is located just 0.21 miles from Macaria Dela Garza Gorena Elementary and 0.67 miles from L B Johnson Elementary, all serving similar demographics, but Cano-Gonzalez is the only one showing clear strength with low-income students. For comparison, district leaders like Austin Elementary (96th percentile) achieve much higher test scores despite similar poverty rates, suggesting there is room for growth. The school’s recent gains in 3rd and 4th-grade math and reading, now above district averages, offer hope for continued improvement.
