The Flatonia Independent School District (Isd) is a small, high-performing district in Texas with just two schools—Flatonia Elementary (serving Pre-K through 5th grade) and Flatonia Secondary (serving 6th through 12th grade)—that together serve 676 students and rank in the 99th percentile statewide.

Both schools are standout performers, but they excel in different ways. Flatonia Elementary is the district’s academic powerhouse, ranking 290th out of 4,627 elementary schools in Texas (94th percentile) with a 5-star rating. Its 4th-grade class is exceptionally high-performing, with 90.91% proficient in Reading and 93.18% in Math—roughly 38 to 44 percentage points above state averages. In contrast, Flatonia Secondary is the consistent achiever, ranking 175th out of 2,009 high schools (91st percentile) and boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate with a 0% dropout rate. The secondary school also shows remarkable year-over-year improvement in Algebra I, with proficiency jumping from 74.51% to 89.36% in one year, and it has a notably low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, compared to the elementary school’s 15:1.

Key metrics reveal a successful “feeder pattern” where the elementary school’s strong foundation carries into secondary school success. The district spends $10,912 per student at the elementary level and $12,463 per student at the secondary level, with 46.7% of elementary and 41.59% of secondary students economically disadvantaged. A hidden strength is Social Studies: 8th-grade proficiency is 66.67%, more than double the state average of 31.69%. Overall, Flatonia Independent School District (Isd) offers a well-rounded, top-tier education with exceptional academic outcomes and strong vertical alignment between its two schools.
