Summary

Rio Vista High School is a small public high school in Rio Vista, TX, serving 296 students in grades 9-12 within the Rio Vista Independent School District (Isd). This school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 37th percentile statewide in 2019 to a strong 77th percentile ranking for the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 4-star rating. This is especially impressive given that over half of its students (55%) are classified as economically disadvantaged, a factor that often presents challenges for schools.

Rio Vista stands out from nearby schools in several key areas. Its proficiency rates in Algebra I (77.9%) and English I Reading (74.7%) are significantly higher than those at larger neighboring schools like Cleburne High School (28.6% and 52.1%) and Alvarado High School (51.0% and 60.6%). The school also excels with its male students, who rank in the 81st percentile statewide, and has achieved an outstanding 88th percentile ranking for its effectiveness with low socio-economic status students. This performance rivals that of the region's top school, Grandview High School, which has a much lower rate of economic disadvantage (32%). Rio Vista also boasts a high graduation rate of 97.8% and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%.

The school's success is likely supported by its small size and high per-student spending of $14,964, which is significantly more than what larger peers like Cleburne High School ($9,656) invest per pupil. With a student-teacher ratio of 13:1, students can receive more personalized attention. While the school has shown strong core programs, performance for specific subgroups like Special Education and Gifted & Talented students has been inconsistent from year to year. Overall, Rio Vista High School offers a compelling option for families seeking a high-performing, supportive environment that consistently delivers strong academic results for a diverse student body.
