Summary:
The 78358 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Fulton Learning Center, which serves grades 3-5 with 614 students. The school is part of the Rockport-Fulton Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 674 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Fulton Learning Center's academic performance is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 35.35% compared to the state average of 52.02%, and the 5th grade science proficiency rate was only 8.85% compared to the state average of 29.57%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.01% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,669 in 2020-2021 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the academic performance at Fulton Learning Center remains below state averages. This indicates that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions for students from low-income backgrounds, is needed to address the challenges facing the school.
