Summary:
In zip code 75496, there is only one elementary school, Wolfe City Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 in the Wolfe City Independent School District (Isd) and has a total enrollment of 329 students.
Wolfe City Elementary has experienced a dramatic decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 21st percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. The school's most recent test scores show it underperforms the state average in nearly every subject and grade level. The most concerning area is 4th Grade Mathematics, where only 15.38% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 49.28%. Other significant gaps include 3rd Grade Reading (31.37% vs. 51.08% state) and 4th Grade Reading (34.62% vs. 53.68% state). The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 68.09%, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.3 is slightly above the typical state average.
Despite the overall challenges, there is a notable bright spot in 5th Grade Mathematics, where 51.79% of students are proficient, exceeding the state average of 47.38%. This suggests effective math instruction at that grade level that could be replicated in lower grades. The school's per-student spending of $11,915 is slightly above the Texas state average, but this investment has not yet translated into competitive academic outcomes. The district as a whole ranks in the 59th percentile out of 951 districts in Texas, indicating above-average performance at the district level even as this school has struggled recently. Science scores from 2024-2025 also show weakness, with only 18.37% of 5th graders proficient compared to the state average of 29.57%.
