Summary

La Gloria Elementary in Falfurrias, TX, is a small, rural PK-6 school serving 119 students within the La Gloria Independent School District (Isd), where over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable strength in Reading, especially in the upper grades. In the most recent year, 3rd and 6th graders significantly outperformed the state average in Reading. However, this success is not mirrored in Mathematics, where proficiency rates have been critically low for several years—for example, only 12.5% of 4th graders and 9.09% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, compared to state averages near 50%. This creates a unique "tale of two subjects" that is not seen at nearby high-performing schools like Ricardo Elementary, which shows balanced proficiency across both subjects. Despite these challenges, La Gloria is a bright spot in a region where neighboring schools, such as Falfurrias Elementary and Premont Ernest H Singleton Early College Academy, struggle in both Reading and Math.

La Gloria was once a top performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile in 2016, but has since declined to a 2-star rating. The school spends a higher amount per student ($13,010) than nearby schools, yet this investment has not yet led to broad improvement, particularly in Math. Interestingly, the school serves male students significantly better than female students, with males ranking in the 54th percentile statewide compared to females in the 24th percentile. The key takeaway for parents is that La Gloria has a proven ability to excel in Reading, and the challenge is to replicate that success in Mathematics to return to its former high-flying status.
