Summary

Dew School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Teague, TX, serving 171 students as the sole campus of the Dew Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable ability to bounce back from past struggles, recently earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 65th percentile statewide after a low point in 2019.

What truly sets Dew School apart is its exceptional investment in students. With a student-teacher ratio of just 12.5:1, it offers far more individualized attention than nearby schools like Leon Elementary (14.5:1) or Teague Elementary (14.1:1). This is backed by higher per-student spending—$14,122 per student compared to roughly $10,000 at neighboring schools—creating a resource-rich environment. The school has also demonstrated a powerful strength in supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 85th percentile for effectiveness with this group in recent years, though this performance has been inconsistent. While Teague Elementary shows more steady growth (now in the 88th percentile), Dew School’s ability to compete with its larger neighbor, especially in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math, proves this small district can hold its own.

However, parents should be aware of a clear academic challenge: middle school math. In the most recent school year, only 23.53% of 6th graders and a critical 7.69% of 7th graders met state math standards, far below the state average. Science scores in 5th and 8th grades have also been persistently low, with 5th-grade science proficiency dropping to just 5.88% in one recent year. On the positive side, reading performance is a consistent bright spot, with 6th graders significantly outperforming the state average. The school’s overall ranking has been volatile, suggesting a dynamic environment that can make big improvements but needs to stabilize its support for all student groups to ensure long-term success.
