Summary:
The Eustace Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 1,711 students across four schools: Eustace Pri (PK-2), Eustace Intermediate (3-5), Eustace Middle (6-8), and Eustace High School (9-12).
Eustace Middle stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, particularly in advanced math. An exceptional 90.32% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient, dramatically outperforming the state average. However, the school faces a notable "7th Grade Math Cliff," where proficiency plummets from 55.81% in 6th grade to just 13.64% in 7th grade. Eustace Intermediate provides a strong foundation, outperforming state averages in every subject in 2024-2025, with 4th-grade math proficiency exceeding the state by over 23 points. Eustace High School is a consistent performer with a stellar 96.2% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, though it has seen a recent dip in state ranking and some test scores. Eustace Pri serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (73.55%) but also has the largest class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1.
Key metrics show the district generally performs at or above state averages in early-grade Reading and Math, but struggles significantly in 7th-grade Math and 8th-grade Social Studies. A district-wide decline in test scores from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026 may reflect lingering pandemic effects. The high school, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (11:1) and fewest economically disadvantaged students, contrasts with the elementary school that has the greatest needs and largest classes, highlighting a potential resource allocation challenge for the district.
