Summary:
The six schools in zip code 93223 are in Farmersville Unified: two elementary, two middle and two high schools, serving students from elementary through high school. Across the reported 2025–2026 results, the average school proficiency rate was 25% in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math and 15% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding is that even the local leaders in each subject were below the state rate.
Farmersville High led reported ELA results at 45%, 4 points below the state; J. E. Hester Elementary led math at 22%, 17 points below; and Farmersville Junior High led science at 19%, 17 points below. George L. Snowden Elementary had a notable Spanish listening result: 43% proficient, versus 24% statewide. Deep Creek Academy stands out for other reasons: its graduation rate was 60%, compared with 88% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 100%, versus 18% statewide. Its current-year test scores are suppressed, so it cannot be compared academically with the other schools.
Among schools with results in both years, average ELA proficiency fell 4 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the state rate edged up from 48.8% to 49.3%; average math fell 2 points as the state rate rose 1 point. Science averages rose 3 points, but the state rate rose 3 points as well, leaving schools slightly farther behind overall. SchoolDigger rankings also declined for Farmersville High, from the 39th to the 28th percentile, and Junior High, from the 28th to the 14th. Context differs between the elementary schools: Hester’s student-teacher ratio was 16.5, compared with Snowden’s 20.1, while Snowden had higher third-grade ELA and lower chronic absenteeism. The five schools reporting a free/reduced lunch eligible measure in 2024–2025 ranged from 87% to 95%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
