Summary

La Villa Early College High School is a small, rural high school in La Villa, TX, serving 179 students in grades 9-12 as part of the La Villa Independent School District (Isd).

This school’s greatest strength is its ability to keep students on track to graduate. With a graduation rate of 97.6% and a 0.0% dropout rate, it outperforms many nearby schools, including Edcouch-Elsa High School (91.1% graduation) and Monte Alto High School (91.4% graduation). This success is likely supported by an extremely low student-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, which is much smaller than the South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Science Academy (12.8:1) and the Idea Weslaco Pike College Preparatory (14.5:1). The school also invests heavily in its students, spending an average of $14,768 per student, which is higher than the spending at the high-performing Science Academy ($12,985).

While La Villa excels at getting students to graduate, its standardized test scores are below state averages. For example, only 20.69% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 54.03% statewide. However, the school has shown remarkable improvement for English Language Learner (ELL) students, jumping from the bottom 12% of the state to the 64th percentile in just two years. Additionally, its Biology proficiency rate of 62.79% is competitive with nearby schools like Monte Alto High School (53.7%) and Edcouch-Elsa High School (48.94%). As an Early College High School, the focus is on helping students earn college credit and graduate, which may explain why test scores are lower even as retention and graduation rates are exceptionally high.
