Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75770, serving the rural community of Larue, Texas, are all part of the Lapoynor Independent School District (Isd), a small district with about 479 students that holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 37th percentile statewide.
The standout school is Lapoynor J H, which has made a dramatic 32-percentile-point leap to the 66th percentile, earning a 3-star rating—the highest in the district. This middle school excels in advanced math, with Algebra I students achieving an 83.33% proficiency rate, far outpacing the high school's 43.33% on the same exam. Lapoynor High School is the most consistent performer, boasting a 97.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, and it is the only school to meet or exceed state averages in any subject, specifically English II Reading (72.73% vs. 59.88% state). In contrast, Lapoynor Elementary is the district's primary concern, ranking in the 8th percentile with 0 stars and showing a critical "math crisis" where 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates (18.92%, 29.03%, and 17.39%) are roughly 30 points below state averages.
Key metrics show low student-to-teacher ratios (8.1 to 11.5) and economic disadvantage rates around 44-48% across all schools. A district-wide weakness in Science and Social Studies is evident, with 8th-grade scores at roughly half the state average. The high school also shows a "reading reversal," where English II Reading soared while English I Reading dropped, suggesting cohort-driven volatility. Overall, while the middle school shows strong upward momentum and the high school offers stability, the elementary school's foundational struggles in math and science indicate a need for targeted intervention to improve the district's overall performance.
