Summary

Guerra Elementary is a PK-5 school in Edinburg, TX, serving 545 students within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, where about 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school shows a mixed performance profile: it excels in 4th-grade math, with 59% of students proficient compared to 49% statewide, but struggles significantly in 5th-grade science, where only 14% of students were proficient—far below the district average of 29% and the state average of 30%. This "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern in 5th grade, where reading proficiency reaches 53% but science lags dramatically, suggests a specific instructional challenge in science rather than a general academic weakness.

Guerra Elementary has demonstrated exceptional capacity to support specific student groups, though results can be volatile. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked in the 91st percentile statewide for Special Education students, earning a 5-star rating—a remarkable achievement that far outpaces its overall performance. However, this ranking dropped to the 35th percentile the following year, indicating results may depend heavily on the specific cohort or program changes. Similarly, the school ranked in the 99th percentile for Gifted and Talented students in 2021-2022, showing elite-level programming when resources are focused. A persistent challenge is the "3rd grade slump" in reading, where proficiency has consistently lagged behind district and state averages, potentially affecting later academic success.

When compared to nearby schools, Guerra's challenges appear addressable. Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary, just 3.4 miles away, serves a similar demographic (89% free/reduced lunch) but consistently ranks in the 76th-79th percentile (4 stars), outperforming Guerra in nearly every subject—for example, 50% proficiency in 5th-grade science versus Guerra's 14%. This comparison suggests that Guerra's struggles are not solely due to student demographics but may stem from differences in instructional strategies or school culture. Notably, Guerra achieves its results with below-average per-student spending ($11,318) compared to peers like Lincoln Elementary ($12,900), highlighting both resource constraints and potential for growth.
