Summary:
In zip code 76525, there is a single elementary school, Evant Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 and is part of the Evant Independent School District (Isd) in a small, rural Texas community.
Evant Elementary is a very small school with just 100 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, the school faces significant academic challenges. Its state ranking has dropped sharply from the 47th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 12th percentile in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom tier of Texas elementary schools. The most critical issue is a severe math crisis in the early grades: only 6.67% of 3rd graders and 9.09% of 4th graders are proficient in math, compared to state averages of about 45%. Reading proficiency is also low, with roughly 27-30% of 3rd and 4th graders meeting grade-level standards, well below the state average of 52-54%.
Despite spending over $10,000 per student, the school's outcomes are among the lowest in the state, which is strongly linked to the fact that 90% of its students are economically disadvantaged. There is a glimmer of hope in 5th grade, where math proficiency (41.67%) nearly matches the state average (46.24%), and science scores are close to the state average. This suggests that instruction may improve in upper grades, but the foundational gaps in early math and reading are severe. For parents, this school offers small class sizes but requires careful attention to the academic support available, especially for younger students struggling with core skills.
