Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 77461 (Needville, TX) are all part of the highly-rated Needville Independent School District (Isd), which serves approximately 3,650 students from Pre-K through 12th grade and ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide.
This district operates as a cohesive, high-performing feeder system. Students begin at Needville Elementary (PK-3), which builds a strong foundation with 70.44% of 3rd graders proficient in Reading—well above the state average. They then move to Needville Middle (4-6), where math proficiency declines from 73.75% in 4th grade to 63.92% in 6th grade. This trend is managed at Needville J H (7-8), which excels as an "Algebra I Accelerator"—an incredible 95.45% of its students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, compared to the state average of 54.03%. The system culminates at Needville High School (9-12), a standout performer with a 98.5% graduation rate and a low 0.3% dropout rate. The high school also shows strong subject mastery in Biology (85.92% proficient) and U.S. History (84.67%), significantly outperforming state averages.
Key metrics reveal interesting dynamics. Spending per student varies, with Needville High School at $11,195 and Needville Elementary at $8,616, yet the elementary school produces strong test scores despite having the largest class sizes (17:1). Economic demographics show Needville Elementary has the highest need at 48.35% free/reduced lunch, while Needville High School has the lowest at 36.81%. A notable district-wide weakness is Social Studies, where only 35.47% of 8th graders at Needville J H were proficient, barely above the state average. Overall, the district's consistent 5-star rating and strong academic performance across all four schools suggest a well-aligned curriculum and supportive community culture from PK through 12th grade.
