Summary

Tivy High School in Kerrville, TX, serves 1,363 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Kerrville Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized school with a moderately diverse student body where about 44-47% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Tivy consistently outperforms state averages in Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History, making it a strong choice for families focused on humanities and life sciences. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, Tivy’s U.S. History proficiency (73.29%) and Biology proficiency (71.19%) were notably higher than nearby Comfort High School (52.87% and 61.43%, respectively). However, the school has a critical weakness in Algebra I, with proficiency rates around 20-28% over the last four years—roughly half the state average. This "Algebra I paradox" suggests a systemic issue in foundational math instruction, which is a key concern for college readiness. On the positive side, Tivy boasts exceptional graduation rates (consistently above 95%, reaching 99.6% in 2021) and extremely low dropout rates (0.1-0.3%), outperforming its peer Ingram Tom Moore High School (98.9% graduation rate) and dramatically better than the alternative Hill Country High School (69.4% graduation rate).

Despite its overall solid track record, Tivy’s state ranking has slipped from 4 stars to 3 stars in recent years, with notable declines for specific student groups, including English Language Learners and Special Education students. The school operates efficiently, with the lowest per-student spending ($9,417) among nearby schools, yet achieves above-average results in most subjects. Nearby Ingram Tom Moore High School has emerged as a rising competitor, now outperforming Tivy in English I (72.57% vs. 62.04%) and English II (80.34% vs. 64.66%). For parents, Tivy offers a strong humanities education and excellent graduation outcomes, but the Algebra I weakness and recent subgroup declines warrant attention to ensure all students thrive.
