Summary

Lamar Elementary is a K-5 school in San Angelo, TX, serving 579 students as part of the San Angelo Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for this group in the 2024-2025 school year.

One of the most notable features of Lamar Elementary is its strong performance with special education students, which is a stark contrast to its overall 3-star rating and 54th percentile ranking. The school also has a lower rate of economic disadvantage compared to nearby schools, with only 44.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, while Reagan Elementary (86.26%) and San Jacinto Elementary (87.8%) have much higher rates. Additionally, Lamar's 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 51.35% exceeds both the district and state averages, though math scores in other grades remain a challenge. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.1 is favorable, contributing to smaller class sizes compared to top-performing peers like Ft Concho Elementary (17.8) and Santa Rita Elementary (15.5).

Despite these strengths, Lamar Elementary shows inconsistent performance for low socioeconomic status students, dropping from the 75th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 12th percentile in 2025-2026, and it struggles with gifted and talented students, ranking in the 20th percentile. Reading scores are a relative strength, often matching or exceeding district averages, but math instruction needs improvement across most grades. Compared to its closest neighbor, Bonham Elementary, which has similar enrollment and demographics, Lamar consistently outperforms it in overall state rankings, suggesting effective resource use. The school's history of volatile year-over-year performance makes future outcomes uncertain, but its focused support for special education students remains a key differentiator.
