Woodville Independent School District (Isd)

The Woodville Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural Texas district serving 1,196 students across four schools: Woodville High School (grades 9-12), Woodville Middle (grades 6-8), Woodville Intermediate (grades 3-5), and Woodville Elementary (PK-2). The district ranks in the 14th percentile statewide, earning a low 1-star rating, and faces significant challenges with high economic disadvantage—free or reduced lunch rates range from 56% to 71% across campuses.

Among the schools, Woodville High School stands out for its relative strengths, including the highest per-student spending ($16,082) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.2:1). It was the only campus to beat a state average, achieving 58.89% proficiency in English II Reading in 2024-2025, though this success was not sustained the following year. In contrast, Woodville Middle faces a critical "math cliff": only 4.94% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, a staggering 24.47 points below the state average. Woodville Intermediate has the highest economic disadvantage rate (71.12%), while Woodville Elementary has the lowest spending per student ($11,772) and highest student-teacher ratio (13.3:1), yet its 3rd and 4th-grade math scores are the closest to state averages in the district.

Key takeaways include an inverse relationship between spending and performance—the high school spends the most but still underperforms—and consistent underperformance across all grade levels, with scores typically 10 to 30 points below state averages. The district's graduation rate is 89.0%, with a dropout rate of 1.5%. The dramatic drop in math proficiency from 5th grade (29.58%) to 7th grade (4.94%) signals a critical breakdown in curriculum alignment between intermediate and middle school, pointing to deep-seated challenges requiring comprehensive, long-term interventions.
