Summary

Los Fresnos Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, serving 549 students in a community where nearly 78% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically been a solid, above-average performer in Texas, it currently ranks as the lowest elementary school within its own high-achieving district. For example, nearby Olmito Elementary and Rancho Verde Elementary both hold 5-star ratings, while Los Fresnos holds a 4-star rating. This gap is most visible in math: in 5th grade, Los Fresnos students scored 44.71% proficient compared to the district average of 60.71%, while Olmito and Rancho Verde scored well above that average.

One of the school’s most notable strengths is its remarkable turnaround for special education students, who jumped from the bottom 16% of the state in 2023-2024 to the top 32% in 2025-2026—a 52-percentile-point improvement. The school also shows strong performance in 5th-grade science, nearly matching the district average and far exceeding the state average. However, there are clear challenges: a significant gender achievement gap has emerged, with female students ranking in the top 17% statewide while male students rank in the bottom half. Additionally, performance drops sharply from 3rd grade to 5th grade, suggesting that student cohorts or individual teachers have a large impact on outcomes.

Compared to other schools in the district with similar poverty rates, such as Villareal Elementary (74% economically disadvantaged), Los Fresnos underperforms in several key areas, indicating that poverty alone does not explain the gap. The school’s success with special education students provides a powerful blueprint for addressing other areas of need, such as the declining math scores in upper grades and the widening gender gap. For parents, Los Fresnos Elementary offers a solid foundation with clear areas of strength, but it is a school that requires active engagement to ensure their child thrives, especially in the upper elementary years.
