Summary

Westphalia Elementary in Lott, TX, is a small, rural K-8 school serving 159 students as the sole campus of the Westphalia Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its remarkable academic turnaround, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2016 to a sustained 4- and 5-star performer over the past decade, now ranking in the 87th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.9:1 and a 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, Westphalia offers a personalized learning environment that has proven effective for all its students.

Compared to nearby schools, Westphalia’s performance is exceptional. For instance, Rosebud-Lott Elementary, just 6.5 miles away, ranks in the 37th percentile, while Troy Elementary (67th percentile) and Rogers Elementary (63rd percentile) are solidly average. In contrast, schools in the Temple Independent School District (Isd) and Bruceville-Eddy Independent School District (Isd) often rank in the bottom 20-40% of the state. Westphalia’s upper-grade performance is particularly impressive: 100% of 8th graders were proficient in Reading and 90% in Math in 2025-2026, and 100% of students taking Algebra I passed the End of Course exam in recent years. However, 7th-grade Math remains a challenge, with only 22.22% proficient, below the state average.

Westphalia also excels in serving diverse learners. At-risk students have seen a phenomenal turnaround, moving from the bottom 20% of the state in 2017-2018 to the top 8% by 2021-2022. Male students rank in the 93rd percentile. The school invests $11,025 per student, higher than the average of $10,266 for nearby schools, though Bruceville-Eddy Intermediate spends more ($13,128) but achieves far worse results (4th percentile). This combination of effective leadership, low class sizes, and targeted support makes Westphalia a standout choice for families in the Lott area.
