Summary

Amparo Gutierrez Elementary in Laredo, TX, is a PK-5 school in the United Independent School District (Isd) serving 384 students, with over 80% of families qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This school stands out for its high investment in students, spending $13,179 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, yet its overall academic performance has been mid-to-low, earning 2 out of 5 stars in recent years. The most striking contrast is with nearby Trautmann Elementary, which spends $3,920 less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1, but achieves top-tier results—for example, 83.9% proficiency in 4th-grade math versus Amparo Gutierrez’s 35%.

Despite these overall challenges, Amparo Gutierrez excels in supporting specific student groups. Its Special Education program ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, and it also performs well for English Language Learners and low-income students, suggesting targeted interventions are highly effective. However, the school faces a persistent "4th-grade math wall": while 3rd-grade math scores often meet state averages, 4th-grade proficiency drops dramatically—only 35% in 2025-2026 compared to the district average of 54.46%. This pattern is not seen at nearby schools like Clark Elementary or Newman Elementary, which show stability or improvement in 4th-grade math.

On a positive note, reading scores are improving, with 3rd-grade reading now exceeding the state average at 58.62% in 2025-2026. This suggests literacy instruction is a foundation to build upon. For parents, Amparo Gutierrez offers a caring environment with small classes and strong support for students with special needs, but the school’s future success likely depends on replicating these strategies across all subjects, especially 4th-grade math, to match the efficiency of higher-performing peers like Trautmann.
