Savoy Independent School District (Isd)

The Savoy Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas serving 305 students across two schools: Savoy Elementary (PK-6) and Savoy High School (7-12). The district ranks in the 59th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, and both schools benefit from very low student-teacher ratios (10.2:1 at the elementary and 8.8:1 at the high school), allowing for significant individualized attention.

Savoy High School is the district's standout performer, achieving proficiency rates well above state averages in 7th Grade Reading (78.57% vs. 54.04%), English II (76.19% vs. 59.88%), and U.S. History (81.82% vs. 70.17%). It also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, and its state ranking has climbed to the 63rd percentile. In contrast, Savoy Elementary has shown a remarkable turnaround, improving its state ranking from the 37th percentile to the 70th percentile over three years, earning a 4-star rating. The elementary school excels in reading, with 6th Grade Reading proficiency reaching 83.33% in a recent year, far exceeding the state average.

The most critical finding is a stark divide between reading and math performance across the district. While reading is a clear strength at both schools, mathematics is a significant weakness. In the most recent year, Savoy Elementary fell below state averages in every grade level for math, and Savoy High School struggled with 8th Grade Math (21.43% vs. 47.24%) and Algebra I (20% vs. 54.03%). This suggests a systemic issue with math instruction that, if not addressed, could undermine the high school's current success. The high school's strong performance may reflect a different instructional era for its current students, making the elementary school's math challenges a critical area for future improvement.
