Summary

Leveretts Chapel Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Overton, TX, serving just 118 students and operating as the sole campus of the Leveretts Chapel Independent School District (Isd).

This school has experienced extreme ups and downs in academic performance over the past decade, making it stand out from nearby schools. After reaching a high point in 2015-2016, it entered a prolonged decline, hitting a low of the 9th percentile in 2024-2025 before a slight recovery to the 16th percentile in the most recent data. In contrast, nearby schools like Arp Elementary and Sabine Elementary show more stable, mid-range performance. The school serves a student body with a very high level of economic disadvantage—nearly 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among comparable schools in the area. For context, Overton Elementary, located just 4 miles away, has a lower poverty rate (68.75%) and has consistently outperformed Leveretts Chapel in recent years.

One of the most concerning trends is the dramatic collapse in math proficiency. For example, 5th-grade math dropped from 72% proficiency in 2023-2024 to just 31% in the most recent year. The school has also seen a spike in its student-teacher ratio, jumping from 9.6 to 16.3 in one year—now the highest among all comparable schools—which likely reflects budget or staffing challenges. On a positive note, the school has shown flashes of success, particularly with English Language Learner students, where it ranked in the 91st percentile in 2023-2024. However, these gains have not been sustained across the entire student body, and the school's future will depend on stabilizing staffing and implementing a consistent, effective math curriculum.
