Summary
Bayshore Elementary is a PK-5 school in the La Porte Independent School District (Isd), serving 420 students in La Porte, TX, with 55.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year. Once a top-tier performer ranking in the 94th percentile in 2015-2016, Bayshore has experienced a significant decline, hitting a low of the 27th percentile in 2021-2022 before recovering to the 53rd percentile statewide (3 stars) in the current year. This places it as the lowest-ranked elementary school in its district, trailing behind peers like College Park Elementary (83rd percentile), Lomax Elementary (82nd percentile), and Heritage Elementary (90th percentile).
A key concern is a "two-tiered" performance in math: 3rd graders score above the state average (52.94% vs. 44.33%), but 4th and 5th graders fall well below it (32.86% and 35.56% vs. 49.28% and 47.38%, respectively), a pattern persisting for three years. This contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Heritage Elementary, where 5th-grade math proficiency (71.15%) is double Bayshore's. Additionally, the school shows inconsistent support for specific student groups, with Special Education students swinging from the 91st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, while White students have consistently underperformed at the 18th percentile. On a positive note, Bayshore has been notably effective with its Low Socio-Economic Status students, who ranked in the 84th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting targeted programs that could be expanded.
An intriguing data point is an apparent anomaly in 6th-grade math scores—despite the school only serving up to 5th grade—showing 86.67% and 89.47% proficiency, far exceeding the district average of 43.11%. This may reflect a small, specialized group or a data error. Geographically, Bayshore is near the higher-performing Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd), where Brookwood Elementary ranks in the 95th percentile, highlighting potential for improvement. Overall, Bayshore is in a fragile recovery phase, with three consecutive years of improvement since its 2021-2022 low, but it still lags behind district peers and its own historical performance.
