Summary

Elias Longoria Senior Middle is a mid-sized middle school in Edinburg, TX, serving 770 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, where over 80% of students come from low-income households.

The school’s standout strength is its advanced coursework program. In the most recent school year, 100% of students taking Algebra I and English I End-of-Course exams were proficient—far exceeding district and state averages. This success is consistent over several years, indicating a highly effective program for accelerating students into high school-level classes. Additionally, the school has maintained a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for every year on record, and it shows exceptional support for special education and migrant students, with these subgroups ranking in the top quartile statewide. However, performance is uneven: while 8th-grade math proficiency (62.41%) is well above the state average, 7th-grade math proficiency (19.91%) is a notable weakness, suggesting a potential transition issue in the curriculum.

Compared to nearby schools, Elias Longoria holds its own in math acceleration. It matches or slightly exceeds South Middle, the district’s top traditional middle school, in 8th-grade math and Algebra I proficiency. However, it lags behind Michael E. Fossum Middle in McAllen and the magnet South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Preparatory Academy, which serve more affluent populations. The most compelling story is the school’s upward trajectory: after ranking in the 24th percentile in 2020-2021, it has climbed to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, reflecting effective strategies that are yielding sustained improvement for its diverse student body.
