Summary

Mt Vernon Elementary in Mount Vernon, TX, serves 641 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the highly-rated Mount Vernon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 70th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional ability to achieve top-tier academic results for its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for this group in the 2023-2024 school year—a remarkable feat given that nearly 69% of its students qualified for free or reduced lunch. This performance far surpasses nearby schools like Pittsburg Elementary and Annie Sims Elementary, which have similar poverty rates but lower overall district rankings.

Mt Vernon Elementary has a history of strong math performance, particularly in 4th grade, where 61.48% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—well above the state average of 49.28% and competitive with top regional schools like Annie Sims Elementary (65.22%). However, the school has experienced notable volatility, with overall performance surging from the 28th percentile in 2017-2018 to an 89th percentile peak in 2023-2024, before dropping to the 55th percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is broad-based, affecting nearly all student subgroups, and contrasts with the stability of Annie Sims Elementary, which has consistently ranked in the 80th-88th percentile over the same period.

Recent test scores reveal a split between subjects: while 4th-grade math remains a strength, 3rd-grade reading and math have fallen significantly below state averages—a reversal from the 2023-2024 school year when 3rd-grade reading was 21 points above the state average. The school spends $10,159 per student, which is higher than some peers like Pittsburg Elementary ($9,512) but lower than others like Rivercrest Elementary ($10,587). With a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, Mt Vernon’s success—especially with low-SES students—appears driven by effective instructional strategies rather than just resources, making it a school of high potential that now faces the challenge of regaining consistency.

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
