Summary

Collins-Parr Elementary in San Diego, TX, serves 688 students in grades PK-5 within the San Diego Independent School District (Isd), and has achieved a remarkable turnaround from the 8th percentile statewide to a 3-star rating at the 51st percentile in the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs and those from low-income backgrounds. For special education students, Collins-Parr ranks in the 83rd to 85th percentile statewide—a huge outlier compared to nearby schools like Benavides Elementary, which is in crisis at the 0th percentile. The school also consistently ranks in the 64th to 73rd percentile for low-SES students, showing it effectively overcomes challenges linked to poverty. A unique "4th Grade Bump" in math has seen 4th graders exceed the state average for four consecutive years (e.g., 59.57% proficient vs. 49.28% statewide in 2025-2026), suggesting a highly effective math curriculum at that grade level. This sustained improvement contrasts sharply with the volatile performance of Noonan Elementary and even holds its own against top-performing Schallert Elementary in 4th-grade math.

Despite these strengths, a critical weakness remains: 5th-grade science proficiency has hovered around just 11-14% for the past three years, far below the state average of 29.57%. This "Science Gap" is the school's biggest academic challenge. Notably, Collins-Parr achieves its turnaround efficiently, spending $9,209 per student—far less than struggling Benavides ($20,928) and comparable to high-performing Schallert ($9,282). For parents, this school offers a proven track record of lifting up its most vulnerable students, with a clear area for future growth in science.
