Summary

Santa Rita Elementary in San Angelo, TX, is a K-5 school serving 357 students and stands out as a high-performing beacon within the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 15% of all Texas elementary schools over the past decade. With a current state ranking in the 87th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, Santa Rita dramatically outperforms most nearby schools, many of which rank in the bottom 20% of the state. For example, while Bradford Elementary and Reagan Elementary score below 25% proficiency in 5th grade math, Santa Rita achieves 75% proficiency. The school also maintains a healthy student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 and spends slightly less per student ($8,204) than many lower-performing peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

Santa Rita excels across nearly all student subgroups, including Male Students (90th percentile), White Students (92nd percentile), and Gifted & Talented Students (88th percentile). However, the most alarming trend is a dramatic decline in performance for Special Education students, who dropped from the 92nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 16th percentile in 2025-2026—a change that warrants immediate attention. Additionally, while Santa Rita’s 5th Grade Science scores (54.9% proficient) are well above the district average (20.32%), they remain a relative weakness compared to its Reading and Math scores, a pattern seen across the district.

Santa Rita’s closest high-performing peer is Ft Concho Elementary, which achieves a slightly higher overall rank (93rd percentile) despite having a similar socioeconomic profile. This makes Ft. Concho an interesting comparison for families considering Santa Rita. Overall, Santa Rita offers a strong academic environment with consistent excellence, though parents of Special Education students may want to investigate recent changes in support services. The school’s efficiency and high test scores make it a standout choice in the San Angelo area.
