Summary

Fred Booth Global Leadership Academy is a PK-5 elementary school in the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, serving 441 students in a high-poverty area where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced persistent academic challenges, ranking in the 11th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas. Its most critical weakness is in mathematics, where only 6.12% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, a stark contrast to the district average of 45.01% and the state average of 44.33%.

Despite spending $20,376 per student—nearly double the spending of nearby schools like Cash Elementary ($10,078) and Raul Garza Junior Steam Academy ($10,800)—Fred Booth's academic outcomes are the worst in its comparison group. This is especially notable when compared to Sullivan Environmental Science Academy, located just 0.54 miles away, which serves a nearly identical student population (92.64% free/reduced lunch) but performs at the 50th percentile. Sullivan's 5th-grade math proficiency (62.07%) is more than double Fred Booth's (25.42%), proving that demographics alone do not determine success.

However, there are bright spots. The school's Spanish-language STAAR program is a notable strength: in 2024-2025, 60% of 5th graders taking the Reading STAAR in Spanish were proficient, far exceeding the district (27.78%) and state (32.91%) averages. Additionally, the school's performance with Special Education students has been inconsistent but showed strong results in 2024-2025 (56th percentile), though it dropped sharply the following year. These successes suggest that effective instruction is possible at Fred Booth, and the school can learn from its own bilingual program and from Sullivan's model to improve outcomes across all subjects, particularly math.
