Summary:
The city of Fulton, Texas has only one school, Fulton Learning Center, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Rockport-Fulton Independent School District (ISD). The district is ranked 674 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Fulton Learning Center is consistently underperforming academically, with STAAR test scores below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates range from 27.35% in 5th grade math to 42.86% in 4th grade reading, compared to the state averages of 44.88% in 3rd grade math and 57.83% in 5th grade reading. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 3754 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3907 out of 4651 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 64.01% of students receiving this benefit in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,669 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the academic performance data suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The combination of academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population indicates a need for targeted interventions and a deeper investigation into the root causes of the school's poor performance.
