Summary:
Zip code 78371 is home to a single school, Oilton Elementary, a very small rural elementary school serving grades PK through 5 within the Webb Consolidated Independent School District.
Oilton Elementary serves 109 students and faces significant challenges. A striking 91.74% of its students are economically disadvantaged, and despite spending a very high $19,208 per student, academic performance is low. The school ranks in the 4th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, a sharp decline from the 29th percentile the previous year. Proficiency rates on the most recent STAAR tests are well below state averages, with only 33.33% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and 26.67% in math, and 5th grade scores dropping to 20% in reading and 18.75% in math. The student-teacher ratio is a low 10.4:1, suggesting potential for individual attention, but this advantage has not translated into higher test scores.
There is one notable bright spot: in the 2024-2025 school year, 50% of 5th graders were proficient in science, significantly outperforming the state average of 29.57%. This suggests a potential area of strength to build upon. Overall, Oilton Elementary is a high-resource school grappling with the deep impacts of poverty, and its academic trajectory is declining. Parents should be aware that while the school invests heavily per student and maintains small class sizes, current outcomes in reading and math are a serious concern.
