Summary

Martin De Leon Elementary is a PK-5 school in Victoria, TX, serving 531 students within the Victoria Independent School District (Isd), and it has emerged as a standout performer in the area, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—a remarkable jump from the 45th percentile just four years earlier.

This school consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in Reading and Math across nearly every grade level. For example, in 4th-grade Math, proficiency reached 62.96%, compared to the district's 44.83% and the state's 49.28%. What makes this even more impressive is the stark contrast with nearby schools. Just 0.81 miles away, Rowland Elementary ranks in the 24th percentile, with 3rd-grade Math proficiency at 25.68% versus Martin De Leon's 51.19%. Similarly, Shields Elementary (1.98 miles away) and Crain Elementary also lag significantly behind. While Vickers Elementary remains the top performer in the district (82nd percentile), Martin De Leon's rapid improvement and strong results for Hispanic and low-income students—ranking in the 75th and 74th percentiles respectively—show it is effectively closing achievement gaps.

However, the school has clear areas for growth. Special Education students have consistently ranked in the bottom 20th percentile statewide, and 5th-grade Science scores, while above the district average, only match the state average at 29.41% proficiency. Despite these challenges, Martin De Leon's trajectory is impressive, and its lower rate of economic disadvantage (58.57%) compared to neighbors like Rowland (85.84%) suggests a diverse student body benefiting from strong school leadership and instructional strategies.
