Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 78843

Summary:

In zip code 78843, which serves the Laughlin AFB area, there is a single elementary school, Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet, serving grades PK through 5 with a small enrollment of 148 students.

Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet is a standout school within the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, dramatically outperforming the district in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 69.23% was over four times higher than the district's 14.67%. The school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, reaching a 5-star rating (91st percentile) in the 2023-2024 school year, though it has since declined to a 3-star rating (65th percentile) for 2025-2026. The school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and a low percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (14.86%).

Key metrics reveal both strengths and areas for focus. Reading proficiency is a clear strength, consistently exceeding state averages (74.10% in 2024-2025 vs. 54.53% statewide). However, mathematics proficiency, while above the district average, has fallen below the state average in recent years (44.97% vs. 47.00% in 2025-2026). The school also exhibits significant year-over-year volatility in specific grade-level scores, likely due to its small student population. Overall, Roberto Bobby Barrera Elementary Stem Magnet is a high-performing school with a strong STEM focus, particularly excelling in science and reading, but its recent ranking decline and math scores are worth monitoring.
