Summary

Elysian Fields High School is a small, rural school in Waskom, TX, serving 229 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Elysian Fields Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently shown a strong upward trajectory, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and climbing from the 49th to the 69th percentile statewide.

This school truly shines in English Language Arts, with English II Reading proficiency rates (84.44%) that far exceed the state average (59.88%) and outperform nearby schools like Carthage High School (79.79%) and Waskom High School (50.62%). A standout achievement is its #1 ranking in the entire state of Texas for serving Hispanic students, a remarkable leap from the 45th percentile just two years prior. The school also excels at supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (81st percentile) and those in special education (87th percentile), all while maintaining a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.6:1. This intimate learning environment is a key advantage over larger neighbors like Marshall High School (15.1:1), and it achieves these strong outcomes with lower per-student spending ($11,999) compared to Waskom High School ($14,128).

However, the school faces a clear challenge in Algebra I, where proficiency rates (38.64%) have lagged behind the state average for four consecutive years. While the graduation rate is stellar at 95.2%, the dropout rate has been slowly trending upward, from 0.4% to 1.6% over the last three years—a metric worth watching. Overall, Elysian Fields High School is a resurgent school that punches above its weight, particularly in English and for its most vulnerable students, but it needs to focus on strengthening foundational math skills to ensure all students are fully prepared for their next steps.
