Summary

Jourdanton Elementary serves 434 students in grades 2 through 5 within the Jourdanton Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized school in a rural area where a majority of students (56-60%) are economically disadvantaged.

Jourdanton Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked school among its immediate peers, outperforming nearby Pleasanton Elementary, Charlotte Elementary, and Poteet Intermediate in overall state rankings. The school consistently posts the highest reading proficiency scores in the area, with 5th-grade reading nearly matching the state average. It also shows a notable strength in 5th-grade science, where proficiency rates have exceeded or closely approached the state average, significantly outpacing nearby schools. Additionally, the school has demonstrated a "bright spot" for its Special Education students, who recently earned a 3-star rating, outperforming the school's overall ranking.

However, the school faces a critical and persistent challenge in mathematics, with scores falling below the state average in every grade level and the gap widening in higher grades—5th-grade math scores were 17.5 percentage points below the state average. Performance for economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners has been inconsistent from year to year, suggesting support programs may not be reliably effective. Despite these challenges, Jourdanton Elementary operates with high resource efficiency, spending significantly less per student than most nearby schools while achieving the highest academic rankings in the area. The school also consistently challenges its Gifted and Talented students, earning 3-star ratings in recent years.
