San Luis El, Eagle Pass TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on San Luis El

San Luis Elementary is a small, regular public school serving first through sixth grade in Eagle Pass, Texas. The school enrolls a small cohort of students across six grades, with roughly similar cohort sizes in most grades. Nearly all students are Hispanic, and a substantial majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a clear marker of economic need in the school's community.

The school's academic profile shows mixed performance across subjects and grade levels. In mathematics, third-grade proficiency is markedly low, while fifth grade performs closer to the midpoint. Sixth-grade math proficiency is similarly low to third grade. One small cohort of fourth graders tested in Spanish showed proficiency at zero. In English language arts, fourth grade sits in the lower-to-middle range, sixth grade slightly above that, and fifth grade (a very small Spanish-tested group) is stronger. A fifth-grade science cohort shows proficiency at the midpoint. Across all subjects tested, the school's overall proficiency at the "meets" level sits below the midpoint, though a substantial share of students reach the "approaches" level in both ELA and math. Social studies performance is notably stronger, with a large majority reaching the approaches level.

Because San Luis serves only elementary grades, there is no state graduation rate. The school is located in Eagle Pass, a border city with a historic downtown and cross-border identity. Housing costs are moderate relative to national benchmarks. The district approved a sizable facilities bond in May 2026, committing to long-term capital improvements that will affect property taxes going forward.

State testing data for San Luis shows a school where foundational skills in math are developing unevenly across grades, with particular softness in grades three and six. The pattern suggests that reading and writing in English, while not strong, are somewhat more stable across the grade band. A parent considering this school should ask directly about intervention and support strategies in mathematics, especially in early and upper elementary grades, and about how the school differentiates instruction across the range of proficiency levels present in each classroom. The school's high poverty rate and predominantly Hispanic enrollment are straightforward facts about composition; whether that mix matches a family's preference is a personal choice rather than a measure of school quality.

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.
