Fort Stockton Intermediate

Fort Stockton Intermediate serves 341 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Fort Stockton Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant economic challenges with about three-quarters of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out as the highest-performing traditional elementary in the district, consistently outperforming the district average in every tested subject. For example, in 2024-2025, 5th-grade math proficiency at Fort Stockton Intermediate was 44.8%, compared to the district average of just 16.3%. The contrast is even sharper when compared to Eschool Prep Academy, a massive K-8 school in the same district that ranks in the bottom 1% of Texas. Fort Stockton Intermediate’s 4th-grade math proficiency (37.6%) was over four times higher than Eschool Prep’s (8.8%). While Fort Stockton Alamo Elementary performs well in 3rd grade, Fort Stockton Intermediate maintains strong proficiency levels in 4th and 5th grades that are significantly above the district average.

The school has notable strengths and areas for improvement. Its Gifted and Talented program is highly effective, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide. Special Education students have shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the bottom 4% of the state in 2023-2024 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026. The school also invests heavily in smaller class sizes with a 13.1:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $13,257 per student, above the state average. However, these resources have not yet translated into top-tier results for all students, as the school overall has earned a 1-star rating in four of the last five years. This suggests that while the school has the funding and some effective programs, there is room to improve instructional strategies for the general student population.
