However, some nearby schools, such as Koennecke Elementary and Navarro Intermediate, have higher performance levels and could serve as potential models for improvement. Addressing the challenges faced by Patlan Elementary, including its declining performance trend and significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, will require a targeted, collaborative effort involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
