Summary

San Augustine Elementary in San Augustine, TX, is a small, rural PK-5 school serving 277 students within the San Augustine Independent School District (Isd), and it is currently in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools just four years ago to the 42nd percentile today.

The school’s most impressive strength is in upper elementary math, where 4th graders scored 64.1% proficient—well above the state average of 49.3% and far surpassing nearby schools like Center Elementary (17.7%) and Excelsior Elementary (21.4%). This success, however, is not yet matched in reading, where 3rd-grade proficiency sits at just 20.6% compared to the state’s 51.1%. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $14,573 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, which is lower than the state average and Center Independent School District (Isd) (14.5:1). While Hemphill Elementary remains the highest-performing school in the area (75th percentile), San Augustine’s rate of improvement is more dramatic, and in 4th-grade math it is nearly on par with Hemphill (66.7%).

This upward trajectory is especially noteworthy given that 88-91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a high level of economic need. The school has become increasingly effective at serving all its students, with recent subgroup performance at or above the 50th percentile for African American, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status students. The key to continued success will be replicating its math strategies in reading, particularly in the critical 3rd-grade year. For parents seeking a school that is clearly on the rise and investing resources into smaller classes and proven math instruction, San Augustine Elementary represents a compelling comeback story in the region.
