Summary

Progreso Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Progreso, Texas, with 284 students. The school faces significant challenges in serving its high-needs student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a high percentage of Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

Progreso Elementary's academic performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years and proficiency rates on STAAR tests generally below the state average. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the state average in 3rd grade STAAR Spanish Reading in recent years. Progreso Elementary spends around $11,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 15 students per teacher.

Compared to nearby schools in other districts, such as Idea Weslaco Pike Academy, Memorial Elementary, and North Bridge Elementary, Progreso Elementary generally underperforms on STAAR tests, with these nearby schools having higher proficiency rates, higher statewide rankings, and serving a less economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students will be crucial for Progreso Elementary to improve its overall academic outcomes and statewide ranking.
