Summary

Leo A Rizzuto Elementary is a PK-5 school in the La Porte Independent School District (Isd) serving 299 students, and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school in the area, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for five consecutive years. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of about 15:1 and a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.5% (the second-lowest in the district), the school provides a stable learning environment that supports strong academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics for younger grades.

Rizzuto Elementary excels in several key areas that set it apart from nearby schools. For example, 68% of 3rd graders and 74% of 4th graders were proficient in math in the most recent testing year, dramatically outperforming both the district (61.8% and 59.1%) and state (44.3% and 49.3%) averages. The school also shows exceptional results with specific student groups, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for English Language Learner students and consistently in the top 15% for low socioeconomic status students. However, there is a notable "J-curve" in 5th-grade math, where proficiency dropped from 81% in 2023-2024 to just 32.9% in 2025-2026, significantly below the district (44.4%) and state (47.4%) averages—a trend worth investigating. In contrast, 6th graders from Rizzuto achieve remarkable math proficiency (88.9%), far exceeding district (43.1%) and state (38.6%) averages, suggesting the strong early math foundation has lasting benefits.

Compared to other schools in the area, Rizzuto is a standout within La Porte Independent School District (Isd) and even outperforms many in neighboring Deer Park Independent School District (Isd). For instance, Rizzuto's 3rd-grade reading proficiency of 67% is higher than the top Deer Park school, Deer Park Elementary, at 55%. While the school excels with many subgroups, its performance with White students has declined from the 54th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 77th percentile in 2025-2026, a trend that contrasts with its overall upward trajectory. Overall, Rizzuto Elementary is a high-performing anchor school in the region, offering strong academics and targeted support for diverse learners.
