Summary:
Yantis, Texas is home to a single high school, Yantis School, which serves grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 150 students and is part of the Yantis Independent School District (Isd).
As the only high school in the area, Yantis School offers a very personalized learning environment with an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1. The school demonstrates clear strengths in specific subjects, particularly in science and English, with 88.89% of students proficient in Biology and 78.57% proficient in English II Reading, both significantly outperforming state averages. However, performance is inconsistent, with notable weaknesses in mathematics and social studies; for instance, only 20% of 7th graders were proficient in math, and 8th grade Social Studies proficiency dropped to just 4.76% in a recent year. The school also reports a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and an excellent 97.1% graduation rate, indicating strong student retention and support.
A key takeaway is the dramatic year-over-year volatility in test scores, which is common for a small school where a single cohort of students can heavily influence results. While the school has earned a 3-star state ranking (58th percentile), its district rating is lower at 2 stars (37th percentile), suggesting the high school may be a stronger component than the district overall. With 58% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a community with economic challenges, yet it still achieves high graduation rates and strong performance in several subjects, though math proficiency remains a persistent area for improvement.
