Summary

Lopez-Riggins Elementary is a PK-5 school in Los Fresnos, TX, serving 467 students as part of the high-performing Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, which ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide.

This school has a standout strength: it ranked #1 in the entire state of Texas for its performance with Gifted and Talented students in the 2024-2025 school year, and it continues to excel in this area. Additionally, despite serving a community where about 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school has historically been highly effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 95th and 96th percentiles for this group in recent years. However, the most recent data (2025-2026) shows a notable dip in overall performance, with the school dropping to a 3-star rating (66th percentile) after years of consistent 4-star ratings. For example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency fell from 69% to 46%, and math from 54% to 43%. The school also faces a significant challenge with its Special Education program, which has struggled to achieve strong results. On a positive note, Lopez-Riggins has a strong track record in 5th-grade science, often outperforming district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Lopez-Riggins presents a mixed picture. It is outperformed by Olmito Elementary (93rd percentile) and Rancho Verde Elementary (92nd percentile), which consistently achieve higher overall rankings and test scores across subjects. However, it generally outperforms Laureles Elementary and Los Fresnos Elementary. Notably, Lopez-Riggins serves a more economically disadvantaged population than its higher-ranked peers, making its strong results with low-income students particularly impressive. The school’s ability to reverse its recent overall decline while maintaining its strengths with Gifted and economically disadvantaged students will be key to its future success.
