Summary:

Zip code 75839, serving the Elkhart, TX area, is home to seven schools across two districts—Elkhart Independent School District (Isd) and Slocum Independent School District (Isd)—including elementary, middle, and high schools for about 2,044 students.

For parents, the standout story is the exceptional high school performance across both districts. Elkhart High School and Slocum High School both boast perfect 100% graduation rates and zero dropout rates, with Elkhart High earning a consistent 4-star rating and Slocum High achieving a perfect 100% proficiency on the English II Reading exam. Slocum Pk - 8 is a math powerhouse, with 8th-grade math proficiency (84.85%) far exceeding the state average, though it struggles in 8th-grade Social Studies (9.09% proficient). Betts Elementary serves a high-poverty population (91.01% free/reduced lunch) yet achieves above-average scores in 4th and 5th-grade Reading and 4th-grade Math, though it faces challenges in 3rd-grade Math and 5th-grade Science. In contrast, Elkhart Intermediate shows a dip in 4th-grade scores before rebounding in 5th grade, suggesting a transition issue.

Resource allocation varies significantly. Slocum High School has the smallest class sizes (7.5:1 student-teacher ratio) and highest per-student spending ($13,545), while Elkhart Elementary has the largest classes (18:1) and lowest spending ($9,247). Overall, Slocum ISD ranks higher statewide (78th percentile, 4 stars) than Elkhart ISD (64th percentile, 3 stars), but both districts deliver strong high school outcomes, making this area a solid choice for families prioritizing secondary education.
