Summary:
Zip code 77632 in Orange, Texas, is home to 8 schools serving elementary through high school grades across two districts, with a predominantly low-to-moderate income population where free/reduced lunch rates range from 51% to 68%.
The standout school in the area is Mauriceville Middle, the only school with a 3-star rating for 2025-2026, showing remarkable improvement from a 1-star rating the previous year and significantly outperforming state averages in 6th Grade Math and Algebra I. Deweyville Elementary is a rising star, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating and leading elementary schools with strong reading and math scores. Little Cypress J H is a math powerhouse, with Algebra I proficiency rates nearly double the district average. In contrast, Deweyville High School is the only 1-star school in the zip code, with the highest dropout rate (0.8%) and critically low math and science scores. Lit Cypr-Mrceville High School performs well with a 97% graduation rate and low dropout rate of 0.3%.
A key finding is the "Middle School Math Anomaly": while middle schools excel in advanced Algebra I courses (82-86% proficient), standard grade-level math proficiency remains very low (16-17%), suggesting the districts effectively accelerate top students but struggle with the general math curriculum. The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School district shows stability with a strong high school and standout middle school, while the Deweyville Independent School District (Isd) presents a paradox with a rapidly improving elementary school but a struggling high school, indicating a potential "leaky pipeline" where early success is not sustained through upper grades. Spending does not correlate with performance, as Deweyville High spends the most per student ($13,674) yet has the worst results, while Mauriceville Middle spends moderately ($10,004) and achieves the highest rating.
