Summary

Austwell-Tivoli Elementary in Tivoli, TX, is a very small, rural PK-5 school serving just 67 students within the Austwell-Tivoli Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in upper elementary math, with 5th and 6th graders achieving 70% and 80% proficiency—far exceeding the state average and outperforming nearby schools like Jackson/Roosevelt Elementary (60.16% in 5th grade math). The school also offers an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, providing unmatched individualized attention compared to neighbors like Seadrift School (12.2:1) and Harrison/Jefferson/Madison Elementary (16.8:1). This is supported by high per-student spending of $17,394, nearly double that of nearby Calhoun County schools. However, the school shows a stark contrast between lower and upper elementary math, with 3rd and 4th graders struggling (12.5% and 25% proficiency) while 5th and 6th graders excel, suggesting a targeted intervention or teaching change around 5th grade. Additionally, a 0% proficiency rate in 5th grade science in 2024-2025, also seen at Bloomington Elementary, may indicate a systemic weakness in science instruction for small rural districts.

Despite these challenges, Austwell-Tivoli has been a consistent "3-star" performer for the last decade, avoiding the dramatic swings seen in neighbors like Bloomington Elementary (a 0-star school) and Seadrift School (which fluctuates between 2 and 3 stars). The school also shows strong ability to serve specific student groups, with male students ranking in the 78th percentile and special education students in the 82nd percentile. For parents considering options, note that Austwell-Tivoli only goes to 5th grade, while Seadrift School (10 miles away) offers a stronger middle school program for grades 6-8, making it a key consideration for the transition to middle school.
