Summary:
The Savoy Independent School District in Savoy, Texas, is a small, rural district serving approximately 305 students across two schools: Savoy Elementary (Pre-K through 6th grade) and Savoy High School (7th through 12th grade). The district is ranked 389th out of 951 districts in Texas, earning a 3-star rating, and serves a community where over half of students are economically disadvantaged.
The district presents a clear contrast between its two schools. Savoy High School is the standout performer, showing a strong upward trend. After a dip in the 2024-2025 school year, it rebounded to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026, significantly outperforming state averages in 7th-grade reading and math, English II, and U.S. History. It also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. In contrast, Savoy Elementary has experienced a three-year decline, falling from the 70th percentile to the 37th percentile. In the most recent year, it scored below the state average in every tested subject and grade level, with the largest gaps in 4th-grade reading and math.
Despite very low student-teacher ratios (10.2:1 at the elementary and 8.8:1 at the high school), academic results are mixed, suggesting factors like curriculum and instruction play a key role. A critical weakness for the high school is Algebra I, where proficiency rates hover around 20%, far below the state average. Additionally, the high school spends nearly $4,000 more per student ($14,677) than the elementary school ($10,728), a disparity that may warrant attention given the elementary school's struggles. The high school's strong rebound from a difficult 2024-2025 year offers a potential model for improvement at the elementary level.
