Summary

Eldorado Elementary is a small, rural school in Eldorado, TX, serving 144 students in grades PK-4 within the Schleicher Independent School District (Isd), and it offers an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4:1, which is far better than the state average.

This school has a history of strong performance, with a "golden era" from 2015-2016 to 2023-2024 where it consistently ranked in the top half of Texas elementary schools, often earning 3 or 4 stars. However, the most recent data shows a dramatic and concerning decline. Between the 2023-2024 and 2025-2026 school years, the school's overall ranking plummeted from the 81st percentile to the 25th percentile, a far more severe drop than typical year-to-year changes. This decline is puzzling because the school spends more per student than the state average and has a very low student-to-teacher ratio, which are usually advantages. The drop appears to be a systemic issue affecting all students, as every subgroup with available data fell below the 25th percentile, with Male Students and Low SES Students performing critically low.

Despite the overall crisis, there is one bright spot: 4th Grade Math nearly matched the state average in proficiency, while 3rd Grade Math was significantly lower. This suggests that the 4th-grade math instruction or cohort may be an outlier of strength. There are no other schools within 20 miles of Eldorado Elementary, so comparisons are made against state averages. The school's history of effective post-pandemic recovery, followed by this sudden collapse, points to a need for an urgent investigation into what changed between the 2023-2024 and 2025-2026 school years.
