Summary

Richland Springs School is a small, rural public school in Richland Springs, Texas, serving 120 students in grades PK-12 within the Richland Springs Independent School District (Isd).

This school’s most remarkable achievement is its perfect record of student retention and graduation. For five consecutive years, Richland Springs has maintained a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate—a powerful indicator that every student is supported through to completion. The school also excels in high school end-of-course exams, particularly in science and English. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 100% of students scored proficient in Biology, far exceeding the state average of 70.51%. In English I Reading, 80% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 55.43%. While performance on lower-grade STAAR tests can vary from year to year—likely due to very small class sizes—the school’s high school academic results are consistently strong. The school also invests heavily in its students, with per-pupil spending over $20,000 and a student-to-teacher ratio of just 8.1 to 1.

Compared to nearby schools, Richland Springs stands out for its perfect graduation rate. Rochelle School, about 15 miles away, reported a strong 90% graduation rate for 2023-2024, but Richland Springs has achieved 100% for five straight years. However, Rochelle School often outperforms Richland Springs in elementary and middle school STAAR subjects, suggesting it may achieve more efficient academic outcomes with fewer resources. In contrast, New Horizons Ranch School, about 19 miles away, appears to serve a more at-risk population, with extremely low test scores and no reported graduation data. Richland Springs is a model of stability and success, particularly in ensuring every student earns a diploma.
