Mason EL

Mason El is a public elementary school serving preK through fourth grade in Mason, Texas, with an enrollment of 300 students. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — and ranks #76 among 4,678 elementary schools in Texas, putting it in the top 2% statewide. The numbers behind that ranking hold up across every category.

Academic performance scores a 9.1 and growth reaches 9.4, meaning students here aren't just achieving at a high level — they're accelerating. That growth figure reflects real year-over-year gains, which matters as much as any single-year snapshot. At a 13.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, classrooms stay small enough for individual attention.

The school outperforms 99% of Texas public schools across a field of more than 8,500 — one of the clearest outliers in the state's data. For families weighing options in Mason, that combination of strong academics, exceptional student growth, and manageable class sizes is rare at any level, and especially meaningful at the elementary level where the habits of learning take hold.

Located in a rural area, Mason 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.
