The Stephen F. Austin State University's Charter School was just awarded second out of all the charter elementary schools in Texas. U.S. News recently analyzed 101,279 pre-K, elementary, and middle schools in Texas.

The SFA University Charter School was also ranked #21 in the state of all Texas Elementary Schools. They have an enrollment of 255 students for grades K-5 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 15 to 1.

The number one school on the U.S. News report was the Carver Center in Midland, Texas. They have a student population of 500. They were also ranked number eight out of all Texas Elementary Schools.
