Summary:
The two public schools in zip code 77538, serving the rural Devers, Texas community, are standout institutions within the top-ranked Devers Independent School District (Isd).
Devers Elementary (PK-5) and Devers Jh (6-8) form a seamless pipeline of academic excellence, with both schools consistently ranking in the top 3% of their respective school types in Texas for three consecutive years. The junior high is the top-ranked school in the zip code, placing in the 99th percentile (#27 out of 2,335) for the 2025-2026 school year, and boasts a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam. Devers Elementary is a powerhouse in early education, with its 3rd-grade math proficiency reaching 95%. While both schools achieve scores 30-50 percentage points above state averages in reading and math, a slight dip in math proficiency is observed at the elementary level between 4th and 5th grades, before the junior high recovers strong performance in 6th and 7th grades.
With a combined enrollment of just 191 students, these schools benefit from a "small school" advantage, including a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 at the junior high and high per-pupil spending ($12,143 at the JH). The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch is relatively low at 28-34%, and the junior high reports a 0.0% dropout rate. This combination of factors creates an ideal environment for individualized attention and sustained academic success, making the Devers district a model for building academic momentum from PK through 8th grade.
