Summary

Quitman Elementary in Quitman, TX, serves 580 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in the rural East Texas Quitman Independent School District (Isd), and has earned a consistent 3-star rating over the past six years, reflecting a stable and reliable educational environment.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional 4th-grade reading performance, with 74.7% of students proficient in 2024-2025—far exceeding the state average of 53.73% and outperforming every nearby school, including College Street Elementary in the Lindale Independent School District (Isd). However, math scores tell a different story: 3rd graders often excel, but proficiency drops sharply in 4th grade, suggesting a curriculum or instruction challenge at that level. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd graders scored 47.78% proficient (above the state), while 4th graders fell to 36.05% (well below the state average of 49.28%). The school also excels at supporting economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating—a sign that opportunity gaps are being effectively closed.

Notable trends include a remarkable turnaround for Gifted and Talented students, who jumped from the 27th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a successful program overhaul. On the other hand, 5th-grade science remains a shared regional struggle, with only 32.99% proficient at Quitman Elementary in 2024-2025, though this still beats the state average of 29.57% and nearby schools like Yantis Elementary (8.7%). While the school’s overall stability is a plus, parents should note the math dip in 4th grade and the need for continued focus on science, balanced by the clear strength in reading and support for all learners.
