Summary:
In zip code 76935, there is a single elementary school, Christoval Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Christoval Independent School District (Isd).
Christoval Elementary stands out as an exceptional school, particularly due to its dramatic improvement in recent years. The school jumped from the 76th percentile in state rankings to the 90th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 4-star rating. This leap is reflected in its STAAR test scores, where the school now exceeds state averages in every subject and grade level. For example, 3rd grade reading proficiency reached 89.13% compared to the state average of 51.08%, and 3rd grade math proficiency hit 86.96% versus the state's 44.33%. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 12.82%, which provides a strong foundation for academic success.
While overall performance is excellent, there are a couple of areas to note. A potential "4th grade slump" appears in math, with only 51.43% of 4th graders proficient in 2025-2026, a significant drop from 86.96% in 3rd grade. Additionally, the only available science data (5th grade, 2024-2025) shows a 39.13% proficiency rate, which, while above the state average, is lower than the school's reading and math scores. These points suggest that while the school is on a strong upward trajectory, continued focus on math transitions and science instruction could further solidify its standing as a top-tier elementary school in Texas.
