Summary:
In zip code 75479, there is one elementary school, Savoy Elementary, serving grades PK through 6 with 177 students in the rural community of Savoy, Texas, part of the Savoy Independent School District (Isd).
Savoy Elementary shows a mixed performance profile that parents should carefully consider. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school was a strong performer, beating the state average in five out of nine tested areas, with a standout 83.33% proficiency in 6th-grade Reading compared to the state's 54.21%. However, performance varied greatly by grade and subject; for example, 4th-grade Reading was a weak point at 36% proficiency, while 3rd-grade Math excelled at 56.52% (above the state's 44.88%). The school benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 and per-student spending of $10,728, yet these resources have not translated into consistent outcomes across all grades. A significant concern is the projected decline for the 2025-2026 school year, where the school is expected to fall below the state average in every subject and grade level, and its state ranking has dropped from a 4-star rating (70th percentile) to a projected 2-star rating (37th percentile).
The most important takeaway for parents is the school's inconsistency and the strong "cohort effect," where individual groups of students perform very differently from year to year. While 66.1% of students are economically disadvantaged, the school's small class sizes offer potential for individual attention, but the data suggests this advantage is not being fully leveraged to maintain high standards across all grades. Science is a persistent weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency at 28.57% in 2024-2025. Parents should investigate how the school plans to address the projected drop in performance and whether instructional approaches are being adapted to support all grade levels consistently, as the current pattern shows success heavily depends on the specific teacher or student cohort.
