Summary:
In zip code 79311, there is one elementary school, Abernathy Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 with 400 students in the Abernathy area, part of the highly-rated Abernathy Independent School District (Isd) which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 28% of Texas districts.
Abernathy Elementary stands out for its consistent above-average performance, maintaining a 3-star rating over the past three years with a state percentile rank between the 61st and 67th percentile. The school boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, suggesting smaller class sizes that can support individualized attention. A key strength is in Reading, where the school outperformed the state average at every grade level in the most recent year, and 5th-grade Science is a major standout, with a 42.42% proficiency rate compared to the state's 29.57%—a 12.85 percentage point advantage. However, Mathematics is a relative weakness, particularly in 3rd grade where scores fell below the state average (32.89% vs. 44.33%), indicating a potential area for curriculum focus.
Year-over-year performance shows some volatility, such as a dramatic 23.64 percentage point drop in 5th-grade Math between recent years, which may reflect different student cohorts rather than a trend. With 51.25% of students economically disadvantaged and spending at $9,439 per student, the school provides a stable, above-average educational option within a high-performing district. Overall, Abernathy Elementary is a reliable choice for families, excelling in Reading and Science while offering room for growth in early-grade Mathematics.
