Summary

Northside Elementary in El Campo, TX, serves 471 students in grades 4 and 5 within the El Campo Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized school in a rural area where over 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a notable recent decline, dropping from the 54th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, a 16-point drop that contrasts with the stability of nearby high-performing schools like Ganado Elementary and Louise Elementary.

The most striking feature of Northside is the gap between its math and reading performance. In 2025-2026, 4th and 5th-grade math scores (50% and 47.09% proficient) are close to the state average, but reading scores (37.83% and 45.29% proficient) fall well below it. This reading weakness is more pronounced than at any comparable nearby school. Interestingly, the school excels with Spanish-language reading tests—4th graders achieved a 50% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, far above the state average of 33.91%—suggesting strong literacy foundations for English Language Learners receiving instruction in Spanish, even as the broader English reading program struggles.

Despite its challenges, Northside outperforms a demographically similar peer: Wharton Elementary (77.41% economically disadvantaged) ranks in the 1st percentile with abysmal scores, while Northside remains in the 38th percentile. However, the contrast with Louise Elementary, just 10 miles away, is stark—Louise serves a similar population but ranks in the 87th percentile with math scores nearly double the state average. This suggests Northside’s issues are tied to specific instructional strategies or school culture, not just demographics. The school’s inconsistent support for subgroups, like Gifted and Talented students dropping from the 94th to 46th percentile in one year, further highlights areas needing attention.
