About Flatonia EL

Flatonia Elementary serves 314 students in grades PK through 5 at a regular public school in Flatonia, Texas. Its composite score of 9.0/10 earns an Exceptional rating — and the underlying numbers justify it. The school ranks #143 out of 8,547 public schools across Texas, outperforming 98% of all campuses statewide.

Among elementary schools alone, it places #95 out of 4,678, a tier reached by fewer than 2% of Texas elementary schools. Academic scores reach 9.1/10, and the growth score — 9.4/10 — is the standout figure. Growth measures how quickly students are progressing relative to peers, and a 9.4 signals that students here are advancing faster than those at the vast majority of Texas schools.

A student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 gives teachers room to work closely with individual students, a structural condition that supports consistent academic momentum. Flatonia El is the top-ranked of the two schools in Flatonia. Its performance holds up across both proficiency and growth dimensions, which gives the Exceptional label real weight — this is not a single-metric outlier.

For families evaluating elementary schools in this part of Texas, the data makes a compelling case.

What Parents Should Know

Located in a rural area, Flatonia EL may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
