Summary

Ft Davis School in Fort Davis, TX, is a single-campus district serving 682 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in a small, rural community. This school stands out for its perfect 100% graduation rate over the last five consecutive years, a remarkable achievement that many larger districts struggle to match. However, the school's academic performance is a mixed bag, with test scores that can swing dramatically from year to year—a common challenge for small schools where a single cohort of students can shift the entire data.

The school shows clear strengths in its high school, particularly in science and history. For example, in the most recent year, students achieved 82.35% proficiency in Biology and an outstanding 93.75% proficiency in U.S. History, both well above state averages. Yet, the elementary and middle grades tell a different story, with scores that fluctuate wildly. For instance, 4th-grade Reading jumped from 33% proficiency to 70% over two years, while 3rd-grade Math hit 0% proficiency in the latest year. This "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern suggests that the school's success is heavily dependent on individual teachers, making it vulnerable to staffing changes. There are no other schools within 20 miles for comparison, so the Ft Davis Independent School District (Isd) serves as the sole educational option in the area.

One interesting finding is the school's dropout rate anomaly: while it has maintained a 0% dropout rate for four of the last five years, it spiked to 3.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, despite the 100% graduation rate that same year. This warrants a closer look by the district. Overall, Ft Davis School excels at keeping students on track to graduate, but it is still working to build a consistent academic foundation in the early grades. Parents should expect a high-commitment environment where high school students thrive, but elementary and middle school performance can vary significantly from year to year.
