Summary
Ft Concho Elementary is a K-5 school in San Angelo, TX, serving 447 students within the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a top-tier school in a district that overall ranks in the bottom third of Texas.
Ft Concho Elementary is a true standout, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 91st to 95th percentile statewide over the last decade. Its academic performance is an extreme outlier compared to nearby schools. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, Ft Concho ranked in the 93rd percentile, while the next closest school, Santa Rita Elementary, ranked in the 87th percentile. The remaining eight nearby schools all ranked in the 49th percentile or lower, with several falling into the bottom 10% of the state. This massive performance gap is reflected in STAAR test scores, where Ft Concho's proficiency rates are dramatically higher than both the district and state averages. For instance, 4th grade reading proficiency was 85% at Ft Concho, compared to 46% for the district and 53% for the state. The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($7,999) than every single one of its lower-performing neighbors, such as Reagan Elementary, which spends $11,878 per student but ranks in the bottom 2% of the state.
While Ft Concho excels overall, its performance with specific student groups varies. The school is exceptionally effective at serving its White student population, which ranked in the 99th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. However, its performance with other subgroups is less dominant, with Hispanic students ranking in the 86th percentile and low socio-economic status students in the 89th percentile. Support for Special Education students has been inconsistent, with a ranking of 96th percentile in 2023-2024 dropping to 69th percentile in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has historically struggled to serve its "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 43rd percentile in 2021-2022 and in the low teens in prior years. The school also serves a lower percentage of students from low-income families (38.7% free/reduced lunch) compared to its neighbors, which is a key demographic difference.
