Summary:
The three public schools serving zip code 78164 in Yorktown, Texas, are all part of the Yorktown Independent School District (Isd), which serves 574 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and holds a 3-star district rating.
The standout school in the area is Yorktown Elementary, a consistent 4-star performer that ranks in the top 28% of Texas elementary schools. It is a true "math powerhouse," with 4th-grade math proficiency reaching 90.91% in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average. In stark contrast, Yorktown J H is the district's weakest link, earning a 2-star rating with severe struggles in math (7th-grade proficiency at just 12%) and social studies. However, the middle school shows a fascinating anomaly: 100% of its students taking Algebra I passed, suggesting it excels at accelerating top math students while the general curriculum lags. Yorktown High School presents a mixed picture, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating despite spending the most per student ($14,126) and having the best student-teacher ratio (9.2:1). Its graduation rate is a respectable 91.9%, but test scores in Algebra I (24.24% proficient) and English I (41.46% proficient) fall well below state averages.
The data reveals a "tale of two schools" within the same district: the elementary school is a high-flyer, while the middle and high schools underperform despite favorable resources. The elementary school's success in math provides a clear model for improvement, but the district faces a critical challenge in bridging the academic drop-off between 5th and 6th grade. For parents, this means the elementary school offers an excellent foundation, but they should closely monitor the transition to middle school and the high school's ability to translate its higher spending into better outcomes.
