Summary
Drs. Reed - Mock Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Juan, TX, serving 509 students within the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (ISD), where over 98% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1.
This school stands out for its exceptional performance in mathematics and bilingual education. In the most recent school year, Reed-Mock achieved math proficiency rates above 59% across all three elementary grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th), significantly outperforming both the district and state averages. This is a remarkable turnaround from the previous year, when 3rd-grade math proficiency was just 28.77%—it more than doubled to 61.43%. The school’s Spanish-language reading program is also a major differentiator, with proficiency rates on the STAAR Spanish Reading test dramatically higher than both the district and state averages across all grades. For example, 4th-grade Spanish reading reached 76.92% proficiency, compared to just 37.14% statewide. No other nearby school, including Henry Ford Elementary, comes close to this level of performance in Spanish reading. Additionally, Reed-Mock is exceptionally effective at supporting its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for this subgroup.
While the school excels in math and bilingual education, its performance in English reading is more mixed and generally lags behind the district average, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. This creates a clear area for focus, especially when compared to a nearby peer like Raul Longoria Elementary, which outperformed Reed-Mock in English reading across all three grades. However, compared to its closest neighbor, Arnoldo Cantu Senior Elementary (just 0.23 miles away), Reed-Mock consistently outperforms in key areas, including 5th-grade math (64.38% vs. 45.07%) and overall state ranking (68th percentile vs. 64th percentile). Overall, Reed-Mock is a school with clear strengths in math and bilingual education, and its recent dramatic improvement in math is a standout success story.
