Summary:
The Austwell-Tivoli Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas that contains just one high school, Austwell-Tivoli High School, serving grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 74 students.
Austwell-Tivoli High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school offers an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.2:1 and spends a very high $22,217 per student, which can allow for significant individualized attention. However, this investment has not consistently translated into strong academic results. The school has experienced a dramatic decline in its state ranking, falling from the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in the 2023-2024 school year to the 34th percentile (2 stars) in the 2025-2026 school year. Academic performance is inconsistent: students excel in U.S. History (70% proficient) and English II Reading (66.67% proficient), but struggle significantly in Algebra I (30.77% proficient) and English I Reading (30.77% proficient).
The most critical concern is the school's graduation rate of just 76.9%, which is well below the state average of over 90%. While the dropout rate is reported at 0.0%, this low graduation rate suggests many students are not completing high school on time. Additionally, 59.46% of students are economically disadvantaged, which can present challenges. Parents should weigh the benefits of small class sizes and high per-student spending against the school's declining performance and low graduation rate when considering this district.
