Summary:
The Flatonia Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single elementary school, Flatonia Elementary, which educates 349 students in grades PK through 5 and has established itself as one of the top-performing schools in Texas.
Flatonia Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools for three consecutive years, with its state ranking improving from the 91st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 94th percentile in 2025-2026. The school dramatically outperforms state averages in every subject, with 2025-2026 proficiency rates of 79.2% in Reading and 76.4% in Mathematics compared to state averages of 54.2% and 47.0%, respectively. Notably, 4th Grade Mathematics reached a remarkable 93.18% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, nearly 44 percentage points above the state average. This high performance is achieved despite 46.7% of students being economically disadvantaged, indicating effective teaching and a strong school environment. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and spends $10,912 per student.
While the school's overall ranking is improving, individual grade-level scores show significant year-over-year volatility, a common challenge for smaller schools. For example, 4th Grade Reading jumped from 62.26% to 90.91% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, while 3rd Grade Reading dropped from 93.18% to 71.15% over the same period. Science is a relative area for improvement; while 5th Grade Science proficiency of 68% is more than double the state average of 29.6%, it remains the lowest score among all subjects tested. The district itself is ranked 12th out of 951 school districts in Texas, placing it in the 99th percentile and confirming that Flatonia Elementary anchors an exceptional educational system.
