Summary

La Pryor Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in La Pryor, TX, serving 195 students within the La Pryor Independent School District (Isd) and has achieved a remarkable academic turnaround, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating and now ranking in the 58th percentile statewide.

This school stands out as a clear academic leader in its region, significantly outperforming nearby schools in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and Crystal City Independent School District (Isd). For example, in 5th grade reading, La Pryor Elementary (61.29% proficient) is the only school in the area to exceed the state average, while schools like Uvalde Elementary At Flores Campus and Uvalde Dual Language Academy fall well below. The school also maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, offering a more personalized learning environment compared to larger schools like Dalton Elementary (19.2:1).

La Pryor Elementary is particularly effective at serving its students from low-income backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide. However, the school faces critical challenges in special education, which recently dropped to the 8th percentile, and in 5th grade science, where proficiency has been persistently low. Performance by gender has also been inconsistent, suggesting a need for more targeted strategies. Despite these areas for growth, La Pryor Elementary’s overall success in a high-poverty context demonstrates that strong academic outcomes are achievable and provides a potential model for other struggling schools in the region.
