Summary:
The city of Edcouch, Texas is home to three schools - two elementary schools and one middle school - all serving a predominantly Hispanic student population. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in reading, math, and science across grade levels.
The data reveals that all three Edcouch schools - Ruben C Rodriguez Elementary, Santiago Garcia Elementary, and David Ybarra Fine Arts Academy - serve a student population that is over 99% Hispanic, with little to no racial/ethnic diversity. Additionally, these schools have extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that is on par with the state average, the Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District continues to struggle to improve academic outcomes for its students. Addressing these systemic challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure that all students in Edcouch receive a high-quality education and have the resources they need to succeed.
