Summary:
The Zavalla Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Zavalla Elementary and Zavalla High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both consistently rank below the state average on key metrics such as school rankings, test scores, and graduation rates.
Zavalla Elementary is ranked very low, ranging from 2,176 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4,343 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025. Similarly, Zavalla High School is also ranked low, ranging from 1,129 out of 1,974 Texas high schools in 2024-2025 to 1,501 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023. Both schools score below the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of Biology at Zavalla High School. Additionally, the Zavalla ISD as a whole is ranked 839 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at Zavalla Elementary (75.76%) and Zavalla High School (65.16%) suggest that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the persistent underperformance. Overall, the Zavalla ISD appears to be facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students, and a comprehensive review of the district's strategies, resource allocation, and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues.
