Summary

Yantis Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Yantis, TX, serving just 155 students within the Yantis Independent School District (Isd), where over 71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a dramatic academic decline, dropping from a 3-star rating in the 64th percentile in 2020-2021 to a 0-star rating in the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, a much steeper fall than nearby schools like Alba-Golden Elementary (54th percentile) and Quitman Elementary (57th percentile), which have maintained their standing.

Despite a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.4:1—the best among nearby schools and a potential advantage for individualized attention—test scores are critically low. In 2025-2026, only 12.5% of 5th graders were proficient in math (compared to the state average of 47.38%), and just 25.93% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading (state average: 51.08%). Even Rains Intermediate, a similarly challenged school serving a high-poverty population 12.78 miles away, outperformed Yantis, with 30% proficiency in 3rd-grade reading and 25% in 5th-grade math. Science has been a persistent weak point, with only 8.7% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below the state average of 29.57% and scores at Alba-Golden Elementary (46.81%) and Quitman Elementary (32.99%).

The school’s low spending of $10,090 per student (2020-2021) is less than Winnsboro Elementary ($12,970) and Alba-Golden Elementary ($10,651), but the favorable student-teacher ratio suggests the issue lies in instructional effectiveness rather than resources. The data points to an urgent need for a comprehensive review of curriculum and support systems, especially in math and science, to reverse this trend and better serve all students.
