Susie Fuentes El, Kyle TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Susie Fuentes El

Susie Fuentes Elementary serves a small student population spanning prekindergarten through fifth grade in Kyle, a fast-growing Austin-area suburb. The school sits within Hays Consolidated ISD, which operates many campuses across northern Hays County as Kyle and its neighboring communities expand.

The school's recent state test results paint a mixed academic picture. In English language arts, proficiency leans stronger at the upper grades: fifth graders showed solid performance, while third and fourth graders held more modest results. Math proficiency is lower across the board and declines as grade level climbs, with the third grade showing the strongest showing and fifth grade the weakest. The sole science result available, from fifth grade, reflects particularly low proficiency. Overall across all subjects and grades, the school ranks in the top quartile relative to other districts in Hays County on a proficiency index.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial share coming from low-income households. More than half of enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment is small for the grade band, spread across seven grades from pre-K through fifth. The school does not serve high school grades, so no graduation rate applies. English learner and special education enrollment numbers were not available in the data.

Kyle itself is one of Texas's fastest-growing cities, with new master-planned residential communities, commercial expansion, and major employers like Amazon and Ascension Seton Medical Center drawing families to the area. Housing values have declined modestly in recent months but remain substantial; median monthly rent is meaningful relative to local income. The city is car-dependent but investing in walkability through the Vybe trail network. A historic downtown cluster exists around city hall, though schools are spread on separate campuses across the broader region rather than concentrated in the center.

For families considering Susie Fuentes, the school offers the small-school environment typical of elementary grades in a growing district. The mixed test results, particularly in math and science, suggest parents may want to look further into the school's instructional approaches and support systems in those areas, and to understand how the school supports English learners and students with identified disabilities, since enrollment figures for those groups were not publicly reported.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
