Elementary Schools in Valere Public Schools

The Valere Public Schools district in Texas is home to two elementary schools, Promesa College Prep Brownsville and The East Austin College Prep At Southwest Key. While both schools serve predominantly Hispanic student populations with high rates of economic disadvantage, the data reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance.

Promesa College Prep Brownsville stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently outpacing the Valere Public Schools district and the state of Texas in STAAR reading and math assessments. With proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points above the district and state averages, Promesa College Prep Brownsville demonstrates a strong educational program that is effectively supporting student learning. In contrast, The East Austin College Prep At Southwest Key struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state in most subject areas and grade levels.

The differences in per-student spending between the two schools, with Promesa College Prep Brownsville spending $10,094 per student compared to $8,335 per student at The East Austin College Prep At Southwest Key, suggest that resource allocation may play a role in the schools' academic outcomes. Additionally, the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools highlight the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student populations, which may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying ways to support student learning.
