Summary:
In zip code 76487, there is one elementary school, Poolville Elementary, serving grades PK-5 within the Poolville Independent School District (Isd), a rural area with a single school option for families.
Poolville Elementary is a school of notable contrasts. It has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.1, and 43.36% of its 422 students are economically disadvantaged. The school shows clear strengths in early grades, particularly in 3rd Grade Mathematics, where its 53.97% proficiency rate in 2025-2026 was nearly 10 points above the state average. It also excels in 5th Grade Science, with a 39.13% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 that was 32% higher than the state average. However, the school struggles with consistency, especially in upper-grade math. In 4th and 5th Grade Mathematics, proficiency rates of 30.14% and 32.2% respectively fall well below state averages, and 5th Grade Reading (47.37%) also lags behind. The school's state ranking has declined from the 60th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 44th percentile (2 stars) for the last two years, indicating a downward trajectory.
The most striking finding is the dramatic swing in math performance between 3rd and 4th grade, suggesting a potential curriculum or instruction gap. Year-over-year scores are also volatile, with 3rd Grade Math jumping 19.64 points and 4th Grade Reading improving 14.75 points between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. While the school demonstrates an ability to achieve exceptional results in specific areas, its declining ranking and inconsistent test scores point to a need for targeted intervention to stabilize and improve performance across all grade levels and subjects.
