Summary

Trautmann Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in Laredo, TX, serving 661 students within the United Independent School District (Isd) and consistently ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools, currently placing 397th out of 4,627 schools statewide with a 5-star rating.

What truly sets Trautmann apart is its exceptional ability to help students from all backgrounds succeed. Despite about 62% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 98th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with low-income students—a remarkable achievement that shows it closes achievement gaps better than nearly all other schools in Texas. Its Hispanic students also perform outstandingly, ranking in the 97th percentile. Test scores tell the story clearly: in 4th-grade math, 83.9% of Trautmann students were proficient, compared to just 54.46% districtwide and 49.28% statewide. This pattern of outperformance holds across every grade and subject. Nearby Kazen Elementary achieves similarly stellar results with an even higher poverty rate (86.92%) and smaller class sizes, suggesting the district has multiple effective approaches to serving high-needs populations.

Trautmann has shown remarkable resilience, recovering strongly from a pandemic-era dip in 2020-2021 to return to the 94th percentile the following year. One area for growth is support for Special Education students, where the school ranks in the 73rd percentile—still above average but notably lower than its other subgroup scores. For parents seeking a school that consistently delivers excellent academics regardless of a child's economic background, Trautmann Elementary stands out as a proven "value-add" powerhouse in Laredo.
