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.
