Summary:
The zip code 78071, serving the community of Three Rivers, Texas, is home to two public schools within the Three Rivers Independent School District (Isd), which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade and is ranked in the 26th percentile statewide.
The standout school in this area is Three Rivers Junior/Senior High School, which shows a clear upward trajectory. Its state ranking improved from the 49th to the 55th percentile, earning a 3-star rating, and it boasts a strong 92.6% graduation rate. The high school excels in specific subjects, achieving an 82.61% proficiency rate in Biology and 78.79% in U.S. History—both well above the state average. In contrast, Three Rivers Elementary is the weaker performer, with a 1-star rating and a ranking that dropped from the 31st to the 13th percentile. The elementary school struggles significantly, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in Reading and 26.83% in Math, far below state averages. A notable "resource paradox" exists: the high school spends $18,788 per student with a 7.2:1 student-teacher ratio, while the elementary school spends just $13,716 per student with a 16.6:1 ratio, suggesting resource allocation may contribute to the performance gap.
Key takeaways include a critical 8th-grade Reading crisis at the high school, where only 16.67% of students are proficient, and inconsistent year-over-year performance across grades. Despite overall low scores, the district shows unexpected strengths in high school science and history. The data paints a picture of a district where the high school is a relative success story, while the elementary school faces significant challenges rooted in early education, making the high school the clear choice for families seeking stronger academic outcomes.
