Summary:
The seven public schools in zip code 78801 (Uvalde, TX) serve pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are all part of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked in the 2nd percentile statewide and serves a student population where nearly 88% are economically disadvantaged.
The standout school in the area is Uvalde Dual Language Academy, the only school in the district to earn a 1-star rating. It dramatically outperforms its peers, with 4th-grade math proficiency (44.68%) more than double the district average (17.65%). In contrast, Crossroads Academy faces the greatest challenges, with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (96.61%), the lowest graduation rate (80.4%), and 0% proficiency in Algebra I, English I, and English II. Uvalde High School is the largest school with 1,148 students and shows relative stability, with a graduation rate of 91.9% that is above the district average. Morales J H presents an interesting anomaly: while 6th-grade math proficiency is just 8.48%, 8th graders taking advanced Algebra I achieve a 54.35% proficiency rate, matching the state average.
A district-wide crisis in mathematics is evident, with scores catastrophically low compared to state averages across all grade levels. The success of the Dual Language Academy in math provides a potential model for improvement. Notably, high spending does not guarantee high performance—Crossroads Academy spends the most per student ($28,864) yet has the worst outcomes, while Uvalde Elementary At Flores Campus spends the least ($10,528). The Ucisd Restorative Center has the highest student-teacher ratio (23.4), which is counterintuitive for an alternative school serving at-risk students.
