Summary

North Heights Elementary is a public elementary school in Del Rio, Texas, serving 539 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 625 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

North Heights Elementary has several key characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools. The student population is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 94-97% over the past 3 years, compared to more diverse racial compositions at schools like Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet and Buena Vista Elementary. Academically, North Heights has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on STAAR tests, with only 37-68% of students proficient in reading, math, and science in 2022-2023, versus state averages of 47-56%. The school has also ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools for the past 10 years.

Additionally, North Heights Elementary has a very high percentage of students (79-83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. The school also spends less per student ($9,079 to $9,821) compared to nearby schools that spend $10,050 to $12,862 per student. While the nearby schools in the same district have demonstrated higher academic performance, the consistent underperformance and socioeconomic challenges at North Heights suggest a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience.
