Summary

Vernon Elementary is an elementary school located in Vernon, Texas, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 535 students. The school is part of the Vernon Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 833 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vernon Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in reading and math significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2484 out of 4329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3046 out of 4651 in 2024-2025. The school's performance is also lower than the district average, indicating that it is one of the weaker-performing schools within the Vernon ISD. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 78.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, the only nearby school in the same district, T.G. McCord Elementary, serves a younger student population (PK-1) and has a slightly higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (82.7%) compared to Vernon Elementary. However, T.G. McCord Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which may contribute to better academic outcomes for its students. The performance disparities among different student subgroups at Vernon Elementary also suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its underperforming groups to ensure equitable educational opportunities and outcomes.
