Summary

Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet is a small, specialized elementary school on Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas, serving 148 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District.

This school stands out as a high-performing outlier in a district that ranks in the 30th percentile statewide. Barrera Elementary consistently achieves test scores that are two to three times higher than nearby schools. For example, in 5th-grade science, Barrera students reached 69% proficiency, compared to just 27% at Ceniza Hills Elementary and a district average of 15%. The school's STEM magnet focus appears to be a major driver of this success, especially in science. Barrera also benefits from smaller class sizes (a 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio) and higher per-student spending ($12,859) compared to peers like Dr Lonnie Green Junior Elementary, which has a 19:1 ratio and spends $11,127 per student. The school serves a unique population of military families, with only 15% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a stark contrast to nearby schools where that figure often exceeds 80%.

While Barrera has a history of elite performance—ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in 2023-2024—the most recent data shows a decline to the 65th percentile. This drop is notable across student subgroups, with Hispanic students falling from the 98th to the 54th percentile and White students from the 96th to the 46th percentile. Despite this recent trend, the school has demonstrated an exceptional ability to serve economically disadvantaged students when they are enrolled, ranking in the 98th percentile for that subgroup in 2023-2024. This makes Barrera a compelling option for families seeking a specialized, resource-rich educational environment, though the recent decline warrants attention.
