Summary

C O Chandler Elementary is a PK-5 school in Victoria, TX, serving 456 students as part of the Victoria Independent School District (Isd), where about 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school is currently in a state of academic crisis, with its state ranking dropping sharply from the 31st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 6th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, earning it a 0-star rating. This places it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with proficiency rates far below district and state averages—for example, only 15.87% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state's 44.33%.

What makes this decline particularly concerning is that it affects nearly every student group, including those who were previously performing well. White students saw a dramatic 40-percentile-point drop from the 55th to the 15th percentile in just one year, suggesting systemic issues rather than challenges tied to any single demographic. The school is also failing its most vulnerable students: low-income students fell to the 4th percentile, special education students to the 3rd percentile, and African American students to the 0th percentile. However, there is a glimmer of hope—Gifted and Talented students improved to the 36th percentile, indicating that enrichment programs are working even as core instruction struggles.

Importantly, nearby Rodolfo Torres Elementary, which serves a similar population with 83% free/reduced lunch, achieves a 46th percentile rank—proving that high poverty does not have to mean low performance. Chandler spends $10,006 per student, more than high-performing Martin De Leon Elementary ($9,250), so funding is not the primary issue. The school must urgently adopt strategies from successful neighbors like Torres to reverse this alarming trend and ensure all students have a fair chance to succeed.
