Summary

De Zavala Elementary is a K-5 public school in Baytown, TX, serving 527 students within the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, where 75.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty community.

De Zavala has experienced a notable decline in performance over the past few years. After ranking in the 61st percentile during the 2020-2021 school year, the school has dropped to the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, currently ranking in the 17th percentile. This decline is steeper than at nearby Clark Elementary, which fluctuates but remains in a higher tier (38th percentile), and contrasts with Crockett Elementary, which has been steadily improving (53rd percentile). A key concern is a significant gender performance gap: female students rank in the 33rd percentile, while male students rank in the 5th percentile—the largest such gap among nearby schools. For comparison, at Alamo Elementary, the gap is much smaller (42nd percentile for females, 41st for males). Additionally, 5th-grade science scores are critically low, with only 8.51% of students proficient, compared to 20.79% district-wide and 29.57% statewide, making it the lowest science proficiency rate among all nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school shows a relative strength in serving its African American students, who rank in the 35th percentile, significantly higher than the school's overall rank. Math performance is also inconsistent but promising: 5th-grade math proficiency (45.45%) outperformed the district average (39.4%) and was much higher than 3rd-grade (30.3%) and 4th-grade (27.85%) scores. Interestingly, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7 is one of the lowest (most favorable) in the area, lower than at high-performing Crockett Elementary (14.1) and Alamo Elementary (15.4). This suggests that the school's struggles are not due to larger class sizes, but may point to issues with instructional effectiveness or school leadership. A nearby charter school, Bob Hope Elementary School-Baytown, serves a similar high-poverty population (82.7% free/reduced lunch) but ranks in the 79th percentile, demonstrating that different approaches can yield vastly different results.
