Summary

Mt Vernon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Mount Vernon, Texas, with 597 students enrolled. The school is part of the Mount Vernon Independent School District, which is ranked 248 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Mt Vernon Elementary has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, moving from a 2-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 4-star rating in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, placing it in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools. The school has particularly strong performance among its Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking in the top 15% and top 20% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 68% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Mt Vernon Elementary has been able to achieve these strong academic results, ranking in the top 2% of Texas elementary schools for low-socioeconomic students in 2023-2024.

While Mt Vernon Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Annie Sims Elementary and Rivercrest Elementary, in terms of statewide ranking and academic proficiency, the school has also faced some challenges. Its Gifted and Talented program has shown mixed results, and its ranking for Special Education students has declined from the top 15% to the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in recent years, indicating a need to review and improve the school's special education services.

Horrible school ran like a prison. Horrible Police Chief and Principle in 2016. Not sure who runs it now or if same people. Learned more during homeschool than the time there. Don't send special needs here. They don't care about you, your child, or your rights. Should have sued them but didn't. Still have the recordings though. Close Quote
