Elysian Fields Independent School District (Isd)

The Elysian Fields Independent School District (Isd) serves 775 students across three schools—Elysian Fields Elementary (PK-5), Elysian Fields Middle (6-8), and Elysian Fields High School (9-12)—in a small East Texas community, earning a solid 4-star district ranking in the 74th percentile statewide.

Elysian Fields Middle stands out as the district’s consistent high performer, earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the 83rd percentile. Its advanced math program is exceptional: 86.67% of 8th graders scored proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 47%. The school also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.7. In contrast, Elysian Fields High School shows a dramatic upward trend, improving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating over three years. While its Algebra I proficiency jumped 177% in one year (from 13.95% to 38.64%), the school truly excels in English II Reading (84.44% proficient), Biology (76.27%), and U.S. History (76.32%), all well above state averages. Its graduation rate is a strong 95.2%.

Elysian Fields Elementary presents a mixed picture with a 3-star rating. It shows clear strengths, like 5th Grade Reading (66.67% proficient) and 3rd Grade Math (63.27%), but also notable weaknesses, such as 4th Grade Math (29.82% proficient). This inconsistency suggests student success may vary by grade level. A potential concern is that the elementary school spends significantly less per student ($9,795) than the middle ($11,924) or high school ($11,999), despite having the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (51.11%). Overall, the district offers small class sizes (ratios from 8.6 to 12.5) and a clear pathway from a strong middle school math program to a high school that excels in humanities and sciences.
