Summary

Stanton Elementary in Stanton, TX, is a mid-sized PK-5 school with 483 students that has achieved a remarkable turnaround, rising from a 1-star rating to a 4-star rating (75th percentile statewide) for the 2025-2026 school year, making it a standout in the Stanton Independent School District (Isd).

The school's most impressive strength is its consistent excellence in reading, where proficiency rates across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th) significantly exceed state averages—for example, 66.27% of 5th graders are proficient compared to the state's 58.47%. This literacy focus sets it apart from nearby schools like Ralph Bunche Elementary and De Zavala Elementary, which struggle to meet state averages. Stanton also earns 4-star ratings for serving key student groups, including those from low socioeconomic backgrounds (57% of students), and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, much smaller than General Tommy Franks Elementary's 26.0. While it cannot be directly compared to the top-ranked Carver Center—which serves a more affluent population—Stanton's success is particularly notable given its challenges.

However, parents should be aware of two key areas for improvement. Science proficiency is a persistent weakness, with only 20.78% of 5th graders meeting standards in 2024-2025, well below the state average. Additionally, support for English Language Learners and Special Education students has been inconsistent, with ratings fluctuating significantly year-to-year. Despite these gaps, Stanton's steady climb from the bottom 12% of Texas schools to the 75th percentile demonstrates effective leadership and a cohesive school culture that has eluded many larger urban schools in the Midland Independent School District (Isd).
