Summary

Yoakum Intermediate in Yoakum, TX, serves 292 students in grades 3-5 within the Yoakum Independent School District (Isd), a community where 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in 5th grade mathematics, with 62.77% of students proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outperforming the state average of 47.38% and nearby schools like Hallettsville Elementary and Shiner Elementary. However, Yoakum Intermediate has experienced volatile state rankings over the past decade, peaking in the 82nd percentile in 2021-2022 before dropping to the 24th percentile in 2024-2025, then rebounding to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a school capable of high performance but struggling with consistency.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,553) than high-performing peers like Shiner Elementary ($8,925) and Hallettsville Elementary ($10,020), and maintaining a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, Yoakum Intermediate has not consistently matched their academic outcomes. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 38.55% of Yoakum students were proficient compared to 64.91% at Shiner Elementary and 63.77% at Hallettsville Elementary. This gap persists even though Yoakum serves a higher percentage of low-income students (68%) compared to Shiner (28%) and Hallettsville (37%), suggesting that additional resources alone have not fully overcome these challenges. The school has shown a remarkable "comeback" in 2025-2026, particularly in 5th grade math and reading, but 5th grade reading remains a persistent weakness, with only 54.74% proficient, below the state average of 58.47%.

Within the Yoakum ISD, the intermediate school serves as a bridge between early primary grades and upper grades, with poverty rates decreasing slightly as students age, from 81% at Yoakum Annex (PK-K) to 68% at Yoakum Intermediate. Historically, the school has shown periods of exceptional effectiveness with at-risk students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide in 2021-2022, but this success has not been sustained, with recent performance for low socioeconomic status students (52nd percentile) and special education students (45th percentile) being merely average. For parents, Yoakum Intermediate offers a resource-rich environment with small class sizes and a strong math program, but families should be aware of the school's inconsistent performance and the need for continued focus on reading proficiency as students prepare for middle school.
