Summary

Villareal Elementary in Olmito, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 444 students within the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, and it has shown a strong upward trajectory, climbing from a low point in 2021-2022 to a current 4-star ranking in the 78th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students from all backgrounds. Villareal ranks in the 85th percentile for its economically disadvantaged students, outperforming the state average for this group by a wide margin. It also demonstrates remarkable support for students at both ends of the academic spectrum, ranking in the 84th percentile for Special Education students and an impressive 98th percentile for Gifted and Talented students. While Villareal is a solid school, it is the lowest-ranked among its immediate district peers, with Olmito Elementary (93rd percentile) and Rancho Verde Elementary (92nd percentile) both achieving 5-star ratings. When compared to schools in the neighboring Brownsville Independent School District (Isd), Villareal holds its own, outperforming Yturria Elementary (71st percentile) but trailing Benavides Elementary (89th percentile) and Pullam Elementary (87th percentile).

The most pressing issue for Villareal is a sharp decline in performance between 4th and 5th grade. While 4th graders thrive (71.83% proficient in Math), 5th graders struggle (42.25% in Math), a pattern not seen at nearby top-performing schools. This "5th grade cliff" is the single most impactful challenge the school faces. Addressing this gap in curriculum alignment or instructional strategies could help Villareal reach the elite status of its district neighbors.
