Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 78052, all part of the Lytle Independent School District (Isd), serve the community of Lytle, Texas, from Pre-K through 12th grade, with a high rate of economic disadvantage reflected in free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 65% to 81% across main campuses.
Among the standout schools, Lytle J H is a bright spot in mathematics, with 8th graders in its Algebra I acceleration program achieving a remarkable 96% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average, even as general math proficiency for 7th graders dropped to just 7.58%. Lytle High School stands out as the most improved and stabilizing force, showing an upward trend in state ranking to the 32nd percentile, a strong 93.6% graduation rate, and a low 1.6% dropout rate, indicating success in keeping students on track despite academic challenges. In contrast, Lytle Daep, a disciplinary alternative program with only 6 students, is an outlier with a per-student spending of $38,112—nearly three times the next highest campus—yet achieves 0% proficiency on the English I EOC and ranks in the bottom 1st percentile.
Key metrics reveal a district-wide struggle, with proficiency rates consistently 10 to 20 percentage points below state averages, particularly in science, where only 13.38% of 5th graders at Lytle Elementary and 26.19% of 8th graders at Lytle J H were proficient. However, Lytle Primary School and Lytle Elementary maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios of 14:1 to 17.1:1, and Lytle High School’s Biology EOC scores (57.69% proficient) are a relative strength, closest to the state average. The district ranks in the bottom 13th percentile of Texas districts, highlighting significant academic challenges, but the high school’s graduation success and the middle school’s advanced math program offer promising pockets of excellence.
