Summary:
Schools in zip code 78330, serving the Agua Dulce Independent School District (Isd), consist of just two schools: Agua Dulce High School (grades 6-12) and Agua Dulce Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade), with a combined enrollment of about 421 students in a small, rural Texas community.
The standout school is Agua Dulce High School, which boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, despite serving a student body where 68% are economically disadvantaged. It excels in Social Studies and U.S. History, with 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency at 71.88% (vs. the state's 31.69%) and U.S. History EOC proficiency at 90.91% (vs. the state's 70.17%). The high school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 and has achieved a 4-star rating in recent years. In contrast, Agua Dulce Elementary struggles, earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 42nd-43rd percentile, with math proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 42%—all below state averages.
A critical district-wide weakness is mathematics, with both schools performing well below state averages in this subject. For example, Agua Dulce High School's 6th and 8th-grade math proficiency sits at just 14.71% and 21.43%, respectively, compared to state averages of 38.57% and 47.24%. However, the district's small class sizes (15.9:1 at the elementary level) and above-average per-student spending ($12,650 at the high school) provide a strong foundation for improvement. The high school's ranking volatility—shifting from the 83rd percentile to the 67th—may reflect its small size, where a single cohort's performance can cause significant swings.
