Summary

Earnest O Woods Intermediate in Wills Point, TX, serves 618 students in grades 2 through 4 within the Wills Point Independent School District (Isd), a rural community where 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its recent upward momentum, jumping from the 16th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026—a stark contrast to nearby schools like J W Long Elementary and Gilbert Willie Senior Elementary, which remain in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. Reading scores have shown notable improvement, with 3rd-grade proficiency rising from 32.8% to 44.1%, though math scores still lag behind state averages. The school also demonstrates a unique strength in supporting special education students, ranking in the 58th percentile for this subgroup—a 3-star rating that outpaces its overall performance. However, the student-teacher ratio has increased sharply from 14.7 to 18.1 over two years, now higher than nearby A E Butler Intermediate (15.3) and Edgewood Intermediate (14.1), which may affect individualized attention.

A critical challenge remains with English Language Learners (ELL), where the school ranked in the 1st percentile in 2024-2025, improving only to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026. STAAR Spanish test scores are alarmingly low, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at just 9.1%—far below state averages. This contrasts sharply with higher-performing nearby districts like Canton Independent School District (Isd), where Canton Intermediate ranks in the 75th percentile and serves a population with a much lower poverty rate (37.7%). While Earnest O Woods shows promising recovery in reading, its ability to sustain this momentum and address deep gaps in math and ELL instruction will be key to future improvement.
