Summary

Saint Jo Elementary is a public elementary school serving around 200 students in grades PK-6 in the Saint Jo Independent School District (ISD) in Texas. The school has been rated 3-4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger over the past several years, and the district as a whole is ranked 430 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 3 stars.

One of Saint Jo Elementary's key strengths is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 13.8 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Lindsay Elementary (12.0) and Nocona Elementary (13.3). The school has also performed exceptionally well in educating its special education students, ranking in the top 95-422 out of over 4,000 Texas elementary schools in this category over the past few years. Additionally, Saint Jo Elementary has consistently outperformed the state average in reading proficiency across all grade levels, though its mathematics proficiency lags behind the state average in most grade levels.

However, Saint Jo Elementary's performance has fluctuated significantly over the past 10 years, and it faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools like Lindsay Elementary and Muenster Elementary. Additionally, the school's gifted and talented program ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, suggesting this may be an area for improvement. Overall, Saint Jo Elementary appears to be a solid, if not exceptional, elementary school with some notable strengths and areas for potential growth.
