Summary

Seguin Elementary in McAllen, TX, is a PK-5 public school in the McAllen Independent School District (Isd) serving 530 students in a high-poverty area, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

What truly sets Seguin apart is its exceptional success with students who often face the biggest challenges. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 95th percentile statewide for students from low-income families and the 93rd percentile for special education students—a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Wilson Elementary and Alvarez Elementary, which also serve high-poverty populations, rank much lower. Seguin also consistently earns top marks for its English Language Learners, ranking in the 82nd percentile, and its bilingual program is a standout: 4th-grade Spanish reading and math scores far exceed district and state averages. This success is not simply about spending more money—Seguin’s per-student spending is in the middle of the pack compared to neighbors like Thigpen-Zavala Elementary, which spends more but achieves less with similar students.

The school has also undergone a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 34th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 76th percentile in 2024-2025—a much larger improvement than any nearby school. However, there is a notable pattern: while 5th-grade reading scores are strong, 3rd and 4th-grade reading and math scores lag behind the district average, suggesting a need to strengthen foundational skills in the lower grades. Nearby, Milam Elementary (1.5 miles away) is a high-performing school but serves a much more affluent population, while McAuliffe Elementary (0.5 miles away) has a similar poverty rate but ranks much lower. This contrast highlights that Seguin’s recent success is driven by specific, effective school-level practices, not just its neighborhood or district.
