Summary:
Zip code 75799 is served by a single school, Ut Tyler University Academy At Tyler, an alternative K-12 institution within the Ut Tyler University Academy district that enrolls 446 students and demonstrates a striking contrast between its elementary and high school performance.
This school stands out for its exceptional high school outcomes, particularly in End-of-Course exams where it achieved a 95.65% proficiency rate in U.S. History and a 90.91% proficiency rate in English I Reading, both significantly exceeding state averages. The school also boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and a strong 94.7% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the picture is more mixed in lower grades: while 7th and 8th-grade reading scores are strong (78.57% and 77.27% proficiency, respectively), mathematics performance in grades 4 through 8 consistently falls below state averages, with 8th-grade math at 39.02% proficiency compared to the state's 47.24%. The school's student-teacher ratio is 14.3, and per-student spending is $9,651.
The most notable takeaway is the dramatic improvement in academic performance as students progress to high school, suggesting a particularly strong upper-level program or a student body that becomes more focused in later years. Year-over-year data shows positive trends in literacy, with 3rd-grade reading jumping from 44.19% to 52.08% proficiency. While mathematics remains a clear area for targeted improvement, the school's ability to retain all students through graduation and achieve elite-level scores in high school subjects makes it a compelling option for families prioritizing strong secondary education outcomes.
