Summary:
The Deweyville Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas serving approximately 564 students across just two schools: Deweyville High School (grades 6-12) and Deweyville Elementary (grades PK-5). The district as a whole ranks in the 33rd percentile statewide, earning a 2-star rating, but the two schools are on very different trajectories.
Deweyville Elementary is the clear standout, showing remarkable improvement over the last three years. It jumped from the 25th percentile (1-star) to the 58th percentile (3-star), driven by strong 5th-grade math scores where 59.57% of students were proficient, well above the state average. In contrast, Deweyville High School is declining, dropping from the 47th percentile to the 23rd percentile (1-star). The high school maintains a solid 94.9% graduation rate and a very low 0.8% dropout rate, but its academic performance is faltering, particularly in math where 0% of 7th graders were proficient in the latest year.
The district's most critical weakness is mathematics, which appears to start in early elementary grades and compounds into high school, where Algebra I pass rates are just 21.57% compared to the state's 54.03%. Reading is a relative strength, with elementary and high school scores often at or near state averages. Despite small class sizes (9.2:1 at the high school) and above-average per-pupil spending, the district struggles broadly in math, science, and social studies. This suggests the need for targeted curriculum reform and professional development rather than additional resources.
