While many of the schools face challenges common to high-poverty areas, a few standout institutions like Valley View Elementary and Hidalgo Elementary are consistently high-performing, ranking among the top elementary schools in Texas.
The data reveals stark racial and socioeconomic homogeneity across the schools, with the vast majority of students coming from Hispanic, economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
