Summary

Jose Bernabe Munoz Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in La Villa, TX, serving 227 students within the La Villa Independent School District (Isd).

This school has recently shown a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools to the 29th percentile. The most exciting news for parents is the exceptional performance in 3rd grade math, where 58% of students met proficiency—14 points above the state average and higher than every nearby school, including Idea Academy Weslaco and John F Kennedy Elementary. The school also stands out for its outstanding support of English Language Learners, who now rank in the 53rd percentile—a massive improvement from just two years ago. This suggests the school has implemented highly effective programs for bilingual students. Additionally, the school invests heavily in smaller class sizes, with a low student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1, which is among the best in the area.

However, the school faces clear challenges. While 3rd grade math is a strength, math proficiency drops significantly in 4th and 5th grades, and 5th grade science scores are alarmingly low at just 6.9%—the lowest among all nearby schools. The school also struggles to support its migrant student population, ranking last in the state for this subgroup. Despite these issues, Munoz Elementary is outperforming its immediate neighbors in the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District (Isd), such as Ruben C Rodriguez Elementary and Santiago Garcia Elementary, showing that the district is making more progress than its peers in the region.
