Summary

Gonzales North Avenue is a public school in Gonzales, TX, serving 565 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Gonzales Independent School District (Isd), which serves a predominantly low-income community where over 72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school has experienced a dramatic and recent decline in academic performance. After earning a 3-star rating in 2023-2024, it dropped to a 1-star rating in 2025-2026, with its state ranking falling from the 51st to the 27th percentile. This sharp downturn is especially evident in mathematics, where only 26.75% of 3rd graders and 36.07% of 4th graders were proficient in the most recent year—roughly 10 to 13 percentage points below the state average. In contrast, nearby Shiner Elementary (16 miles away) is a top-tier school with 64.91% of 3rd graders proficient in math, and Leonard Shanklin Elementary in Luling ISD has maintained a steady 64th percentile ranking. The school's student-to-teacher ratio also jumped to 19.9 in 2024-2025, the highest among comparable area schools, compared to 11.0 at Moulton Elementary and 13.2 at Nixon Smiley Elementary.

Despite the overall negative trend, there is a glimmer of hope in 5th-grade reading, where 50.28% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—the school's strongest subject-area performance. However, science scores for 5th graders have been persistently low, hovering between 17% and 21% proficiency over the last three years, well below the state average. The school's ability to serve specific student groups has also collapsed; for example, Special Education students went from ranking in the top 23% of the state in 2023-2024 to the bottom 15% in 2025-2026. The only other elementary in the district, Gonzales Elementary (serving K-2), has a similar demographic profile but no test score data available, making it unclear if these challenges are unique to North Avenue or systemic across the district.
