Schools in Franklin County

Franklin County runs on a single district, Mount Vernon ISD, which means families here are choosing between schools rather than systems. That uniformity has its advantages — consistency in culture and curriculum across all three campuses. Two of the three schools land in the top quartile statewide, with Mt. Vernon Elementary reaching the 81st percentile and Mt. Vernon Middle close behind at 76th. Mt. Vernon High School sits at the 64th percentile, a solid showing for a small rural district. For families in or around Mount Vernon, the public school options are straightforward and genuinely competitive by Texas standards.
