Summary

St Mary's Academy Charter School is a K-6 elementary school in Beeville, TX, serving 282 students in a high-poverty area where over 83% qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has a notable history: it was a top-performing 4-star school ranking in the 82nd percentile in 2016, but has since declined to a 2-star rating in the 46th percentile by 2026, suggesting systemic challenges that have eroded its former academic heights.

St. Mary's shows a "two-speed" pattern in academics. It excels in upper-grade reading, with 4th grade proficiency at 69.23% and 6th grade at 76%, both well above the state average and far surpassing nearby Fadden-McKeown-Chambliss Elementary (38.98% in 4th grade reading) and R A Hall Elementary (37.5%). However, math performance collapses in upper grades, particularly in 5th grade where only 18.37% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—far below the state average of 47.38% and the lowest among comparable local schools. This "5th grade wall" in math has been a persistent problem for four years, indicating a critical gap in preparing students for more complex concepts.

Compared to the Beeville Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 19th percentile, St. Mary's (46th percentile) is a clear outperformer. However, Skidmore-Tynan Elementary, located 11 miles away in the Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd), surpasses St. Mary's in 5th grade math and science despite having a lower poverty rate. The school has been effective for low-income students in the past (ranking in the 67th percentile in 2023-2024), but this support appears to be weakening. Most concerning, St. Mary's consistently ranks in the bottom 21st percentile for Gifted and Talented students, earning a 1-star rating for three consecutive years, suggesting it struggles to challenge its highest-achieving learners.
