Summary

Fulton Elementary in Fulton, TX, serves 619 students in grades 3-5 within the Rockport-Fulton Independent School District (Isd), and about 66% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Academically, Fulton Elementary has faced persistent challenges, ranking in the 20th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year with a 1-star rating, significantly below state averages in Reading, Mathematics, and Science. This performance is notably lower than nearby schools like Austin Elementary (62nd percentile) and Olsen Elementary (56th percentile), and is more comparable to Charlie Marshall Elementary (14th percentile). The most critical weakness is 5th Grade Science, where only 8.85% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, the lowest in the region and far below the state average of 29.57%. This decline has been consistent over three years, dropping from 19% proficiency in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, Fulton Elementary spends $10,669 per student, which is comparable to other schools in the area, suggesting funding is not the primary issue. The school does show a bright spot with its Gifted and Talented program, where students ranked in the 51st percentile in 2022-2023, indicating a strong enrichment program for high-achievers. However, this success does not extend to the broader student body, as nearly all subgroups perform in the bottom 20th percentile. The school's trajectory has been downward since its best recent performance in the 37th percentile (2020-2021), contrasting with Gilbert J Mircovich Elementary, which has shown more volatility and slight improvement. For parents, the most urgent area for improvement is Science, while the Gifted and Talented program offers a potential model for raising achievement across the school.
