Summary

E B Reyna Elementary in Mission, TX, is a PK-5 school in the La Joya Independent School District (Isd) serving 523 students in a high-poverty community, where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has a history of strong performance, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 20-30% of Texas elementary schools for several years, but recent data shows a significant decline to a 2-star rating and the 47th percentile in 2025-2026. This downturn is a key concern, especially when compared to nearby schools like Enrique Kiki Camarena Elementary and Jose De Escandon Elementary, which are maintaining or improving their rankings within the same district.

One of the most interesting findings is that E B Reyna previously excelled with its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 95th percentile for serving "At Risk" students in 2021-2022 and the 93rd percentile for both "Special Education" and "Low Socio-Economic Status" students in 2023-2024. However, this strength appears to have waned, and the school now shows a persistent weakness in Gifted and Talented (G/T) programming, consistently ranking in the 11th percentile for G/T students. Additionally, math scores are highly inconsistent, with 5th graders achieving an 82% proficiency rate in 2022-2023, far exceeding district and state averages, but 3rd and 4th graders scoring only around 20% in 2024-2025, well below peers.

Despite these challenges, E B Reyna has a notable strength in its bilingual program, with 5th graders taking the Spanish STAAR achieving a 66.67% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school's per-student spending ($12,379) is higher than high-performing peers like Enrique Kiki Camarena Elementary ($11,317) and Jose De Escandon Elementary ($11,312), but lower than the lower-performing Leo J Leo Elementary ($13,209), indicating that spending alone doesn't drive performance. Overall, E B Reyna has a proven track record of success, but its recent decline suggests past achievements were driven by specific cohorts and teachers, and the school now needs to rebuild systemic excellence, especially in math and G/T programming, while leveraging its strong bilingual education.
