A notable turnaround occurred in 5th grade math, which soared from 17.39% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 47.62% in 2025-2026, nearly matching the state average. Science remains a persistent weakness, with only 17.39% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, well below the state average. Because the district and school are one and the same, all accountability rests directly on Ector Elementary’s leadership and teachers.
