Summary:
Zip code 76935, serving the Christoval, Texas area, is home to two public schools—Christoval Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Christoval High School (6th through 12th grade)—both part of the highly-rated Christoval Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 8% of all Texas districts with a 5-star rating.
Christoval High School stands out with perfect metrics: a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. Its end-of-course exam performance is exceptional, with 91.94% of students proficient in Biology and 87.72% proficient in English II Reading—both far exceeding state averages. The school has also shown a strong upward ranking trend, moving from the 66th to the 82nd percentile over three years. In contrast, Christoval Elementary excels in early literacy and math, with 89.13% of 3rd graders proficient in Reading and 86.96% in Math, nearly doubling state averages. Both schools benefit from low student-teacher ratios (12.9:1 at the elementary and 11.4:1 at the high school), fostering individualized attention.
A key finding is the "feeder pattern" of excellence: the elementary school builds a strong foundation that carries through to the high school, which then achieves top-tier results. However, an interesting paradox emerges in 8th grade, where 61.19% are proficient in Math (well above the state) but only 30.91% are proficient in Social Studies (just below the state), highlighting a 30-point gap. Additionally, the high school saw a dramatic 27.7-point improvement in English II Reading proficiency from the previous year, suggesting a highly effective new approach. With a relatively low economic disadvantage rate (12-15% free/reduced lunch) and per-student spending of $9,222 at the elementary and $11,640 at the high school, this small district of 615 students punches well above its weight, creating an environment that rivals much larger districts.
