Elementary Schools in Mercedes Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Mercedes Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage among the families.

Of the 4 elementary schools, Ruben Hinojosa Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, with a 2-star statewide rating and stronger academic proficiency in reading, math, and science compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the other 3 schools (Travis Elementary, John F Kennedy Elementary, and Taylor Elementary) all have a 1-star rating and significantly lag behind state performance levels.

Across the district, the elementary schools face significant challenges, with student populations that are over 96% Hispanic and have free/reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 90% to 96%. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that is only slightly below the state average, the schools are struggling to close the achievement gap and improve academic outcomes for their students.
