Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 75440, serving Emory, TX, are all part of the Rains Independent School District (Isd), which educates about 1,712 students across a high school, a middle school, and two elementary schools, and is ranked in the 22nd percentile of Texas districts.
Rains High School is the district's standout performer, earning a 3-star rating with a near-perfect 98.4% graduation rate and strong science scores—79.41% proficient in Biology, outpacing the state average. In contrast, Rains J H presents a paradox: while it struggles with standard grade-level math (only 9.21% proficient in 7th-grade math), it excels in advanced Algebra I, with 76.47% of 8th graders proficient—22 points above the state average. Rains Intermediate is the lowest-performing school, ranked in the 11th percentile, with math proficiency rates for grades 3-5 hovering around 20-26%, roughly half the state average. Rains Elementary serves the youngest students (PK-2) and has the highest economic disadvantage rate at 67.35% free/reduced lunch.
Key metrics show the district maintains small class sizes (student-teacher ratios from 11.9:1 to 15:1) and consistent per-student spending ($9,790 to $12,010). A critical takeaway is the "elementary math crisis" at Rains Intermediate, where foundational deficits likely feed into later struggles at Rains J H. However, the high school's strong improvement in core subjects and high graduation rate suggests effective remediation for students who enter behind. Science is a relative strength district-wide, with both the high school and junior high outperforming state averages in Biology and 8th-grade Science, respectively.
