Summary

Miss May Vernon Elementary in Fate, TX, serves 790 students in grades PK-5 within the Royse City Independent School District (Isd), a district rated as average among Texas schools. Historically a strong performer with consistent 4-star ratings, the school recently dropped to a 3-star rating (61st percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year, marking its lowest ranking since 2018-2019. This decline is notable because Miss May Vernon remains the top academic performer within its own district, ranking 1,783rd in Texas compared to Davis Elementary at 1,981st and Anita Scott Elementary at 2,348th.

The school's recent struggles are concentrated in specific areas. While math proficiency rates dropped from 61-64% in 2023-2024 to 41-52% in 2025-2026—falling below state averages in 4th and 5th grades—reading scores have held up better, remaining above state and district averages. Interestingly, 5th-grade Science scores have stayed remarkably stable and high, with 45.59% of students proficient compared to the district's 28.67% and the state's 29.57%. This suggests a specific strength in the school's science curriculum that hasn't been affected by the factors causing declines in other subjects.

Geographically, Miss May Vernon faces intense competition from nearby Rockwall Independent School District (Isd) schools, which consistently rank in the top 15-20% of Texas schools. For example, Billie Stevenson Elementary (0.76 miles away) and Sherry And Paul Hamm Elementary (4.28 miles away) significantly outperform Miss May Vernon in 5th-grade reading, with 76% and 78.2% proficiency respectively versus 62.6%. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased steadily from 12.8 in 2022-2023 to 16.4 in 2024-2025, now the second-highest among Royse City elementary schools. While not a direct cause, this trend may strain resources and individual attention as the school works to reverse its recent performance decline.

School atmosphere is unbelievable, always upbeat and welcoming! My son looks forward to attending school, fourth year at MMVE has always had attentive and loving teachers who hold learning skills to the highest level. My wife and I encourage people looking to move to Fate and Royse City to look at MMVE for their young ones! Summing it up in one word, GREATNESS! Close Quote

We love this school! The teachers are amazing! New, beautiful campus, great staff, and very good at communication with parents! My 2 kiddos go to this school and we absolutely love it! We transferred in last year, and were apprehensive since we came from an amazing school, however we have been really pleased! I love all the activities they have to get the family involved!
