Summary

Deweyville Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Orange, TX, serving 270 students as part of the Deweyville Independent School District (Isd), where about 56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround, jumping from a 1-star rating (25th percentile) in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating (58th percentile) in 2025-2026—its best ranking in four years. This rapid improvement sets it apart from nearby schools like Vidor Elementary and West Orange-Stark Elementary, which have seen stagnant or declining performance. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 and higher per-student spending ($11,841), Deweyville offers a more intimate learning environment than larger peers like Oak Forest Elementary (15.8 ratio) or Orangefield Elementary ($8,344 spending).

Deweyville’s standout strength is its exceptional support for Special Education students, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 76th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to its overall performance. This suggests a targeted, effective program that may benefit from the school’s smaller class sizes and higher investment. However, academic performance varies by subject. While 3rd-grade Reading (60% proficient) and 5th-grade Math (59.57%) outpace state averages, 3rd and 4th-grade Math scores lag behind, and 5th-grade Science has been persistently low (14.29% in 2024-2025), a regional challenge also seen at Buna Elementary (23.26%) and West Orange-Stark (10.49%).

Compared to the area’s academic leader, Orangefield Elementary (consistently 4-star, 70th+ percentile), Deweyville doesn’t compete on overall scores but differentiates itself through its Special Education program and capacity for rapid improvement. The school’s recent rebound signals a positive trajectory, making it a compelling option for families seeking a supportive environment, especially for students with special needs. While lower-grade math and science remain areas for growth, Deweyville’s upward momentum and focused resources offer hope for continued progress.
