Summary:
Zip code 75132 (Fate, TX) is home to two elementary schools, Lupe Garcia Elementary and Miss May Vernon Elementary, serving grades PK-5 and PK-6 respectively, with similar student-to-teacher ratios and moderate free/reduced lunch eligibility rates.
While both schools currently hold similar state percentile ranks (60th for Lupe Garcia and 61st for Miss May Vernon), their trajectories differ significantly. Miss May Vernon, part of Royse City Independent School District (Isd), has experienced a sharp decline from the 85th percentile in 2023-2024 to its current rank, yet it remains a standout within its mid-tier district. In contrast, Lupe Garcia, belonging to the top-tier Rockwall Independent School District (Isd), has shown slow but steady improvement from the 56th to 60th percentile. Academically, Miss May Vernon generally outperforms Lupe Garcia in most subjects, particularly in 3rd Grade Math (52.07% vs. 43.07%) and 4th Grade Reading (55.07% vs. 51.06%). However, Lupe Garcia excels in 5th Grade Reading with 68.5% proficiency, well above the state average of 58.47% and Miss May Vernon's 62.6%.
Key takeaways include Miss May Vernon's exceptional 5th Grade Science performance (45.59% in 2024-2025, nearly double Lupe Garcia's 22.95% and far above the state average of 29.57%), and the universal challenge both schools face in Mathematics, where no grade level reached 50% proficiency except Miss May Vernon's 3rd graders. If current trends continue, Lupe Garcia's steady improvement could allow it to surpass Miss May Vernon's declining rank within a year or two, making this a dynamic educational landscape for families to monitor.
