Summary

Harvey Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Kingsville, TX, serving 486 students within the Kingsville Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Harvey Elementary is currently facing significant academic challenges, ranking in the 4th percentile statewide—a steep decline from its 64th percentile ranking a decade ago. Math proficiency is a critical concern, with only 16% of 4th graders and 15% of 5th graders meeting standards, rates that are roughly half of the already low district averages and far below nearby high-performing schools. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency at Harvey (16%) is less than half of its district peer Harrel Elementary (39%) and a fraction of Ricardo Elementary (58%). Science is also a persistent weakness, with only 10% of 5th graders proficient compared to 30% statewide. The school’s performance for its low-socioeconomic status students ranks in the 4th percentile, indicating it struggles to serve its high-poverty population effectively.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: Harvey Elementary excels with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 64th percentile statewide—earning 3 stars. This success suggests the school has an effective program that could be a model for other areas. However, the school is surrounded by high-performing schools like Santa Gertrudis School (89th percentile) and Ricardo Elementary (80th percentile), which serve populations with significantly lower poverty rates and achieve dramatically better results. This contrast highlights the powerful link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes in the region.
