Summary

Rancho Verde Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 692 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 200 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Rancho Verde Elementary consistently ranks among the top 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 177 and 350 over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with projected proficiency rates in 2024-2025 of 70.64% in reading, 68.81% in math, and 49.58% in science, compared to the district's 61.62%, 53.81%, and 45.79%, and the state's 52.02%, 44.88%, and 29.57%. Rancho Verde Elementary excels in serving its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations, ranking among the top 5% and top 2% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups.

While Rancho Verde Elementary's overall performance is exceptional, the school's relatively lower performance for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students suggests an opportunity for the school to further enhance its support and programming for these subgroups. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, such as Los Fresnos Elementary and Lopez-Riggins Elementary, may indicate a need to evaluate the efficiency and allocation of its resources to ensure optimal outcomes for all students.
