Flatonia El, Flatonia TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Flatonia El

Flatonia Elementary serves grades pre-K through fifth, drawing students from a small rural town in Fayette County between San Antonio and Houston. The school is an open public elementary campus in a community of roughly mid-size population with deep Czech and German heritage, a steady blue-collar economic base centered on manufacturing, agriculture, and light tourism tied to railroad history, and housing stock that is older with modest recent growth.

The school's academic picture shows strength in early reading and in third-grade performance, with that grade earning high proficiency across English language arts and solid ground in math. Performance softens moving into the upper elementary grades, particularly in fourth-grade math, where the proficiency rate drops noticeably. By fifth grade, performance stabilizes somewhat in reading and climbs meaningfully, but science proficiency sits below reading and math. Across all tested subjects, the school shows that most students reach at least the basic proficiency bar, and a substantial share meet grade-level standards, though the proportion reaching mastery-level work sits closer to a third or lower depending on subject. The data available covers one school year only, so trend over time is not visible.

The enrollment is small, with roughly equal gender and racial balance between Hispanic and White students. Just under half the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating modest economic stress but not extreme poverty in the cohort. The school sits in the top quartile for proficiency when compared against the five school districts in Fayette County, a meaningful position that reflects the strength in third grade and sustained basic competency across the grade bands.

One data gap: the extent of special education and English learner populations at Flatonia Elementary is not shown in the available state reporting, so a parent seeking detail on those services would want to ask the school directly. The state testing program does not assess grades pre-K through two, so the school's work in early literacy and numeracy in those grades falls outside the tested window; many schools find early grades are where foundations matter most, and Flatonia's strong third-grade reading result may reflect solid work in those earlier years.

Housing in the zip code runs modestly above the state benchmark, and the town itself offers a walkable historic downtown with parks and civic anchors but no intercity transit, so families here tend to own cars and manage their own transportation. The school's location on a campus a few blocks east of downtown is typical of small-town Texas; life in Flatonia centers on modest but steady employment, a tight-knit civic culture, and schools that serve their immediate community without the resources or ambitions of urban or suburban districts.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
