Summary

Castroville Elementary is a PK-5 school in Castroville, TX, serving 600 students within the Medina Valley Independent School District (Isd), and it consistently ranks as a high-performing 4-star school, often outperforming its district peers and nearby schools.

This school is a clear academic leader in the area, especially in Math and Science. For example, in 3rd grade Math, Castroville’s proficiency rate (65.12%) is dramatically higher than the next best nearby school, Potranco Elementary (44.72%). In 5th grade Science, Castroville’s rate (54.63%) is nearly double the state average and far outpaces other Medina Valley ISD elementary schools like Luckey Ranch Elementary and Ladera Elementary. While Wernli Elementary (Northside ISD) is a close competitor, Castroville has recently surged ahead in math, suggesting a new, effective curriculum. In contrast, nearby Lytle Elementary (Lytle ISD) is ranked in the 12th percentile, highlighting a stark difference in educational opportunity within a small geographic area.

Castroville shows strong performance for its White students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, but it faces a challenge with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 23rd percentile recently. The school also demonstrated a remarkable rebound after a dip in the 2023-2024 school year, quickly recovering to achieve its highest-ever math scores. This resilience points to responsive leadership and effective teaching practices that make Castroville a standout choice for families in the region.
