Summary:

The 12 public schools serving Orange, Texas, span grades PK-12 across three traditional districts—Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School, West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District, and Deweyville Independent School District (Isd)—plus one charter, Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies Stem School, in a community where economic disadvantage is high (68.5% average free/reduced lunch rate).

The standout story is Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies - Orange, which rocketed from the 1st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026, with 100% of its students economically disadvantaged and exceptional math scores (81.82% proficient in 5th grade math vs. 47.38% state average). Among traditional schools, Deweyville Elementary leads as the top performer, improving from the 25th to 58th percentile and exceeding state averages in 3rd grade reading (60% vs. 51.08%). Little Cypress J H is the most improved traditional school, rising from the 26th to 47th percentile, driven by Algebra I EOC scores (82.5% proficient) that far outpace district and state averages. In contrast, West Orange-Stark Elementary is the most challenged, ranking in the 12th percentile with test scores 10-25 points below state averages and a high student-to-teacher ratio of 17.4:1.

Key metrics reveal stark disparities: Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School boasts a 97% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate, while West Orange-Stark High School lags at 84.9% graduation and 2.6% dropout. Spending does not correlate with performance—WOCC ISD spends more per student (e.g., $13,025 at West Orange-Stark High) than LCM ISD ($10,197 at Lit Cypr-Mrceville High) but achieves far worse results. A fascinating pattern emerges in LCM ISD middle schools: general math scores often fall below state averages, yet advanced 8th graders in Algebra I EOC achieve 82-86% proficiency, suggesting a strong program for top-tier students. Reading is a relative strength citywide, with schools like Lit Cypr-Mrceville High exceeding state averages in English I and II, while math remains the more acute challenge.
