Industrial EL East

Industrial El East serves 274 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Vanderbilt, Texas. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with a growth score of 9.4 that outpaces even its already-strong academic results. The numbers behind that rating are striking.

Industrial El East ranks 77th out of 8,547 public schools in Texas, placing it in the top 1% statewide. Among elementary schools specifically, it sits 56th out of 4,678 — a more telling comparison, since it competes directly for the same students at the same grade levels. In Vanderbilt itself, it holds the top spot among all three local schools.

A student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 gives teachers real room to work with individual students — tighter than most Texas elementary classrooms. The growth score of 9.4 signals that students here don't just perform well on a snapshot; they make measurable academic gains year over year. For families weighing elementary options in South Texas, Industrial El East is one of the clearest data-backed choices in the state.

Located in a rural area, Industrial EL East may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
