Jones Elementary/intermediate School

Jones Elementary/Intermediate School serves 248 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Brackettville, Texas. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — driven by a 9.6 growth score that signals students are advancing faster than the state expects regardless of where they start. That growth performance is not isolated.

Jones ranks 68th out of 8,547 public schools in Texas, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Among elementary schools specifically, it places 49th out of 4,678 — a tight peer group to break into for a school of this size.

Academically, the school posts an 8.2 out of 10 — strong proficiency numbers by any measure. The 9.6 growth score is the standout: it captures year-over-year student improvement independent of incoming performance levels, meaning the school is actively moving students forward rather than coasting on advantaged enrollment. That combination places Jones at the top of every relevant comparison.
