Summary:
In zip code 75956, there is one elementary school, Kirbyville Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in Kirbyville, Texas, as part of the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District.
Kirbyville Elementary has 686 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.2. The school shows a clear pattern of strong early performance that declines in later grades. In 3rd grade, students outperform the state average in both reading (61.26% vs. 51.08%) and math (45.95% vs. 44.33%). However, by 5th grade, proficiency drops significantly below state averages, especially in math (27.2% vs. 47.38%) and science (14.14% vs. 29.57% in 2024-2025). The school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, earning a 2-star rating each year with state percentiles between 31st and 42nd. Over 60% of students are economically disadvantaged, and per-student spending is $8,765.
The most notable finding is the steep decline in math scores from 3rd to 5th grade, which is much sharper than the state average. The 5th-grade science proficiency rate is critically low, less than half the already low state average. Year-over-year performance is also inconsistent, with reading scores fluctuating significantly between grade levels. This suggests the school may need to focus on strengthening curriculum and support for upper elementary students, particularly in math and science, to maintain the strong foundation seen in 3rd grade.
