Summary

Evadale Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Evadale, TX, serving about 200 students and is the only elementary campus in the Evadale Independent School District (Isd). The school has undergone a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 19th percentile in 2017 to the 81st percentile in 2026, earning a 4-star rating for three of the last four years. This sustained improvement points to systemic changes in curriculum and instruction that are yielding consistent results, making it a standout performer in the region.

One of the most striking differentiators is the school's exceptional performance with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for this subgroup in 2026. This is a dramatic improvement from just two years prior and far exceeds nearby schools like Silsbee Elementary (44th percentile overall) and Buna Elementary (27th percentile overall). The 4th-grade cohort is particularly strong, with a 91.18% proficiency rate in Reading and 82.35% in Math, dramatically higher than state averages and far surpassing every nearby school, including Lumberton Intermediate (55.45% Reading proficiency). The school's success may be linked to its high per-pupil spending of $12,683 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, the lowest among comparable area schools, creating an environment conducive to personalized instruction.

Despite its overall success, the school struggles to achieve the same results for its Special Education students, who ranked in only the 42nd percentile in 2026. Additionally, there is a persistent gender-based performance gap favoring male students, with males ranking in the 83rd percentile and females in the 77th percentile. While both groups perform above average, this suggests that female students may require more targeted support. When compared to its neighbors, Evadale Elementary is a clear academic outlier, achieving results that far exceed what its demographics would typically predict, making it a compelling choice for parents seeking a high-performing, small-school environment.
