Summary:
The two public schools in zip code 75447 (Ivanhoe, Texas) are part of the small, rural Sam Rayburn Independent School District (Isd), which serves 469 students from Pre-K through 12th grade and ranks in the top 12% of all Texas districts.
Rayburn High School stands out for academic excellence and post-secondary readiness, boasting a 97.1% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and exceptional End-of-Course exam scores, including 92.68% proficiency in Biology. In contrast, Sam Rayburn Elementary excels at building foundational skills, with 5th and 6th graders significantly outperforming state averages in both Reading and Mathematics. A key finding is the "7th Grade Math Cliff": while 6th graders at the Elementary scored 58.33% proficient in Math, only 11.54% of 7th graders at the High School reached proficiency, a dramatic drop that suggests a transition issue. Science is a clear district strength, with 5th graders outpacing the state and Biology scores soaring to 92.68% proficient. Reading proficiency also grows with grade level, as 3rd and 4th graders start slightly below state averages but 5th and 6th graders climb well above them.
Both schools benefit from very low student-teacher ratios (10.2:1 at the Elementary and 8.9:1 at the High School) and per-student spending slightly above the state average. Despite a moderate level of economic disadvantage, the district consistently outperforms state averages in most subjects, earning a 4-star rating and a top 12% state ranking. For parents, this small district offers strong academics, individualized attention, and a clear focus on science and upper-grade reading, though the math transition to middle school warrants attention.
