Summary

Travis Elementary is a public elementary school located in Harlingen, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 301 students. The school is part of the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 366 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Travis Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on STAAR tests generally below the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 48.78% to 53.49%, compared to the district averages of 53.08% to 59.27% and the state averages of 52.02% to 57.83%. The school's performance in STAAR Mathematics and Science is even more concerning, with only 25.58% to 36.59% of students being proficient or better in Mathematics and just 17.07% in Science, significantly lower than the district and state averages.

The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 91.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the relatively better performance of Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students compared to the overall student population suggests that the school may be effectively supporting these subgroups, which could provide insights for improving outcomes for other student groups. The school's consistent underperformance and the disparities in performance among different student subgroups indicate a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's struggles and implement effective interventions to support student success.
