Summary:
In zip code 75938, there is a single elementary school, Colmesneil Elementary, serving grades PK through 6 with 220 students in the Colmesneil Independent School District (Isd).
Colmesneil Elementary shows a clear split between reading and math performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, average reading proficiency across grades 3-6 was 52.35%, very close to the state average of 54.03%. However, math proficiency was significantly lower at 38.24% compared to the state's 44.89%. This gap is most dramatic in 6th grade, where reading proficiency jumped to 70% (well above the state average of 53.52%), while 6th grade math proficiency was only 26.67%. The school's state ranking has been volatile, moving from the 46th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 26th percentile in 2024-2025, then rebounding to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026. With 70.45% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school faces economic challenges but still achieves near-average reading scores.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 and per-student spending of $9,387. The school is ranked 2,373 out of 4,627 elementary schools in Texas (49th percentile, 2 stars). A concerning trend is declining math performance as grade levels increase—3rd grade math proficiency was 41.94% in 2025-2026, dropping to 26.67% by 6th grade. This suggests foundational math skills may not be building effectively. The extreme swing in 6th grade reading from 24.24% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 70% in 2025-2026 is unusual and may reflect a strong cohort or instructional changes. Overall, Colmesneil Elementary demonstrates strength in reading instruction but needs targeted support to improve math outcomes, especially in upper grades.
