Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 77995, serving the Yoakum, Texas community, are all part of the Yoakum Independent School District (Isd), which serves 1,458 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade and holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Yoakum High School stands out as the district's strongest performer, boasting a near-perfect 99.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with particular strength in Biology where 72.34% of students are proficient. In contrast, Yoakum J H presents a fascinating split: its advanced 8th graders excel in Algebra I with 94-100% proficiency, yet only 18.56% of its 6th graders are proficient in math, well below the state average. Yoakum Intermediate is the district's "comeback kid," recovering from a 1-star rating to a 2-star rating thanks to a dramatic turnaround in 5th-grade math, where proficiency jumped from 31.25% to 62.77% in one year. The early childhood campus, Yoakum Annex, serves the youngest students (PK-K) and faces the highest rate of economic disadvantage in the district at 81.08%, making it a critical point for early intervention.
Despite investing in very small class sizes (student-teacher ratios between 9.4 and 11.5), the district's overall performance is only average at the 47th percentile statewide. The data reveals a clear pattern where schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage, such as Yoakum Pri and Yoakum J H, tend to have lower test scores, while Yoakum High School, with the lowest rate of economic disadvantage at 51.15%, is the district's strongest academic performer. This highlights the significant challenge the district faces in ensuring all students succeed regardless of their economic background.
