Summary

San Elizario High School is a public high school in San Elizario, TX, serving approximately 985 students in grades 9-12 as part of the San Elizario Independent School District (Isd), where over 95% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past five years. A key concern is math performance: in 2023-2024, only 5.56% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44.73%. While this improved to 35.39% in 2025-2026, it remains far below the state average (54.03%) and is the lowest among nearby schools—for example, Del Valle High School achieved 67.22% proficiency. On a brighter note, Biology proficiency is a relative strength at 51.63% (2025-2026), though still below the state average of 70.51%. The school also struggles with student retention, as its dropout rate (2.5% in 2023-2024) is higher than the district average (1.9%).

Interestingly, the school’s challenges are not due to a lack of funding—it spends $11,118 per student, more than several better-performing nearby schools like Eastlake High School ($9,152). The area also has a stark educational divide: top-performing schools like Mission Early College High School (97th percentile) and Clint Independent School District (Isd) Early College Academy (90th percentile) offer selective admissions and dramatically different outcomes. Additionally, support for special populations has declined—the school’s effectiveness for English Language Learner students dropped from the 45th percentile to the 15th percentile between 2022-2023 and 2025-2026, and for Special Education students, from the 34th to the 17th percentile.
