Summary:

The two elementary schools in zip code 75633, Carthage Pri and Libby Elementary, serve students from Pre-K through 3rd grade within the Carthage Independent School District (Isd) in Carthage, Texas. The district uses a specialized grade configuration, with Carthage Pri focusing on the youngest learners (PK-1st grade) and Libby Elementary serving 2nd and 3rd graders. This structure allows each school to tailor its approach to specific developmental stages, with Carthage Pri being the larger school at 513 students and Libby Elementary enrolling 375 students.

Key differences emerge when comparing the two schools. Carthage Pri has a higher student-teacher ratio (17.3:1) compared to Libby Elementary (15:1), yet it spends more per student ($10,632 versus $9,859). This spending paradox is likely a strategic investment in early intervention, as Carthage Pri also serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (60.62% compared to Libby's 55.2%). Libby Elementary, as the only school with standardized test scores, shows notable performance in 3rd grade mathematics, where it outperformed the state average by over 7 percentage points in the 2024-2025 school year. However, this math proficiency dropped significantly the following year, falling below the state average, which may reflect changes in the student cohort or curriculum.

Reading proficiency at Libby Elementary closely mirrors the district average in both years, indicating it is a reliable baseline for the district's reading performance. The higher spending at Carthage Pri, combined with its greater economic need, suggests the district is prioritizing resources for its youngest and most vulnerable students. Overall, families in this area can expect a focused, developmental approach to early education, with Libby Elementary showing strength in math but some volatility in year-to-year scores. The district's structure allows for specialized attention at each grade level, which can be a benefit for parents seeking a tailored educational path for their children.
