Elementary Schools in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 25 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse district is located in the Rio Grande Valley region and serves a predominantly Hispanic student population.

Among the standout schools in the district, Aida C Escobar Elementary ranks the highest, placing 800th out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools. This school consistently performs well on STAAR reading and math tests, with over 65% proficiency rates in many grade levels. In contrast, Carmen Anaya Elementary and Graciela Garcia Elementary also stand out, ranking 785th and 990th respectively, with exceptional STAAR test scores and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

While the district's student population is overwhelmingly Hispanic, there are significant disparities in academic performance across the schools. The data reveals a wide gap between the top-performing schools and those struggling, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gap. Additionally, the correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance highlights the importance of addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students within the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD.
