Summary:
In zip code 76093, there is one elementary school, Rio Vista Elementary, serving grades PK-5 in the Rio Vista, Texas area, which is part of the Rio Vista Independent School District (Isd).
Rio Vista Elementary is a school of contrasts, with enrollment of 507 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.1. The school has shown significant volatility in its state rankings, dropping from the 52nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026. A standout bright spot was the 2024-2025 4th grade class, which outperformed state averages in both Reading (61.76% vs. 53.73%) and Mathematics (50% vs. 45.79%). However, the same year's 5th grade cohort struggled considerably, with Mathematics proficiency at just 25.88% compared to the state average of 46.24%, and Science proficiency at 24.71% versus 29.57% statewide.
The most concerning finding is a sharp year-over-year decline in test scores from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, with proficiency rates dropping 10 to 20 percentage points across nearly all subjects and grades. For example, 3rd grade Reading fell from 50% to 39.73%, and 3rd grade Math dropped from 48.72% to 32.88%. This dramatic decline, combined with inconsistent performance across different grade cohorts, suggests the school may lack a consistent instructional strategy effective for all students. With per-student spending of $10,792 and 50.3% of students economically disadvantaged, the school's volatile performance indicates that financial resources alone are not the determining factor for success, and the district should investigate potential systemic issues such as curriculum changes or staffing challenges.
