Summary

Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary in San Elizario, TX, serves 510 students in grades 3 through 6 within the San Elizario Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas, and the school has experienced a steep, decade-long decline in academic performance.

The most significant concern is the school's dramatic drop in state ranking, falling from the 68th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 14th percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is especially pronounced in Mathematics, where proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are roughly half the state average. For example, only 21.65% of 3rd graders and 26.47% of 4th graders met math standards in 2025-2026. This is a stark contrast to nearby Campestre Elementary in the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), which serves a similar high-poverty population but achieved 50.82% and 68.18% proficiency in the same grades. The school's performance for male students has also plummeted to the 10th percentile, indicating a growing challenge.

Despite these struggles, there is a notable bright spot: 6th-grade Math. In 2025-2026, 40.35% of 6th graders were proficient, which is higher than both the district (35.23%) and the state average (38.57%). This anomaly suggests a potential strength in the 6th-grade math program that could be replicated in lower grades. Additionally, the school's per-student spending ($11,309) is comparable to higher-performing neighbors like Robert R Rojas Elementary ($12,263), indicating that funding alone is not the issue. The school's bilingual program also shows mixed results, with 5th-grade Reading in Spanish beating the state average, but 3rd-grade Math in Spanish having a 0% proficiency rate. This points to a need for a strategic review of instructional programs, particularly in early-grade Mathematics.
