Summary

Lasara Elementary is a small, rural PK-8 school in Lasara, TX, serving 238 students within the Lasara Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out from nearby schools because it serves students through 8th grade, unlike most elementary schools that stop at 5th grade, and it has shown a strong recent upward trend after years of struggle, rising from the 3rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026.

Lasara Elementary has some remarkable bright spots. In 8th grade, students excel: 58.33% were proficient in math (beating the state average of 47.24%) and 53.33% in social studies (far above the state average of 31.69%). This is a stark contrast to lower grades, where 3rd-grade reading (36.36%) and math (22.73%) lag behind. The school also invests heavily per student ($14,486) and maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1, outpacing nearby districts like Raymondville Independent School District (Isd). For comparison, Pittman Elementary in Raymondville ranks in the 92nd percentile, showing that high performance is possible in similar communities.

One of the most exciting findings is a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students, who jumped from the 11th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting a targeted program is working. Historically, the school also excelled with migrant students, earning a 4-star rating. While challenges remain—like low Algebra I scores (12.9% proficient vs. 47% statewide)—the strong 8th-grade math scores hint at future improvement. Lasara Elementary is a school on the rise, with clear strengths to build on for all students.
