Summary:
In zip code 78358, there is one elementary school, Fulton Elementary, serving grades 3 through 5 in Fulton, Texas, as part of the Rockport-Fulton Independent School District (ISD).
Fulton Elementary has a total enrollment of 619 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20th percentile of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, with its best rank being the 20th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year. A significant concern is the critically low science scores, with only 8.85% of 5th graders proficient in science on the 2024-2025 STAAR test, which is 20.72 percentage points below the state average. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 65.91% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Key metrics show that average proficiency in reading and math for the 2025-2026 school year was 38.82% and 34.93%, respectively, both well below state averages. Math is a consistent weakness, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 25.67% compared to 30.32% in reading. While there was a slight upward trend in overall ranking from the 16th to the 20th percentile, the school remains in the bottom fifth of all Texas elementary schools. Per-student spending is $10,669, which does not appear to be translating into effective academic outcomes given the persistently low test scores and rankings.
