Summary

Perez Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingsville, Texas, serving 377 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kingsville Independent School District, which is ranked 926 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Perez Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 1,275 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 4,198 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. This indicates that the school's performance has been declining relative to other elementary schools in the state. The school's student performance on STAAR tests is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 30.91% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 35.59% for the Kingsville ISD and 52.02% for the state of Texas.

Perez Elementary serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 70.93% to 84.35% in recent years. The nearby Harrel Elementary and Harvey Elementary, which are also part of the Kingsville ISD, show similar performance challenges, suggesting that the issues faced by Perez Elementary may be systemic within the district. Addressing the needs of the school's diverse student population, particularly the underperforming subgroups, will be crucial in improving educational outcomes at Perez Elementary.
