Summary

Dr Pablo Perez is a consistently high-performing elementary school (PK-5) in McAllen Independent School District (Isd), serving 601 students in a moderately diverse community where about 47% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, with overall state rankings between the 77th and 84th percentiles, demonstrating reliable, above-average academic performance. Its spending per student ($11,340) is slightly above the district average, while its student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is on the higher end compared to immediate peers.

Dr Pablo Perez stands out for its exceptional success with Hispanic students, who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a full 10 points higher than the school's overall rank and significantly outperforming Hispanic students at nearby schools like Milam Elementary, Gonzalez Elementary, and Rayburn Elementary. The school demonstrates a clear strength in Reading, with proficiency rates across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (72.94%, 70.97%, and 73.49%) significantly higher than both district and state averages. However, Mathematics performance is more variable—while consistently above state averages, 4th-grade Math proficiency (50.54%) actually fell below the district average (52.11%) in 2025-2026, indicating room for improvement in this subject.

An interesting comparison is with nearby Rayburn Elementary (just 0.54 miles away), which has a higher poverty rate (57.55%) but achieved a higher overall ranking (92nd percentile vs. 80th in 2025-2026), particularly with exceptional 4th-grade scores. A notable concern is the school's performance with Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 37th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic drop from the 72nd percentile three years prior—suggesting the school's strategies may not adequately challenge its highest-achieving students. Despite spending more per student than most McAllen ISD peers, Dr Pablo Perez also has the highest student-teacher ratio (16.8), indicating funds may be allocated to specialized programs rather than smaller class sizes.
