Summary

Augusto Guerra Elementary in Alamo, TX, is a PK-5 campus serving 731 students within the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (Isd), where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a community with high economic need.

This school stands out for its remarkable recovery and consistent performance. After a dip during the 2020-2021 school year, it has rebounded to a 3-star rating for four consecutive years, now ranking in the 66th percentile statewide. Its greatest strength is its effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 85th percentile for this group—the highest among nearby schools. It also excels with Hispanic and English Language Learner students, earning 4-star ratings for both. In upper-grade math, the school shines: 69% of 4th graders and 63% of 5th graders were proficient, far exceeding state averages of 49% and 47%. This is a unique advantage over peers like Santos Livas Elementary, which has a similar overall rank but doesn't match this school's equity-focused outcomes.

While 3rd-grade math is an area for growth, with proficiency around 30%, the school's ability to accelerate learning by 4th and 5th grade is impressive. Additionally, 100% of 5th graders taking the STAAR Reading test in Spanish were proficient, far above district and state averages, highlighting a strong bilingual program. Support for Special Education students has been inconsistent, dropping to a 2-star rating recently, but the school's overall trajectory shows it as a reliable high-performer in the area, making it a standout choice for families seeking a school that effectively supports students facing economic challenges.
