Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 78379 (Riviera, Texas) serve grades PK-12 and are all part of the Riviera Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide and holds a 4-star rating. With a total enrollment of just 425 students, these schools likely share a single campus, fostering a close-knit community.
Kaufer High School is the standout, ranking in the 79th percentile and boasting a 95.9% graduation rate with a perfect 0.0% dropout rate. It excels in Biology, English I, and English II, outperforming state averages. De La Paz Middle is a rising star, particularly in advanced coursework, with an extraordinary 90.91% proficiency rate in Algebra I—far exceeding district and state averages. However, Nanny Elementary is the area of concern, ranking in the 48th percentile with a 2-star rating; its 4th and 5th-grade reading and math scores fall well below state benchmarks, and 5th-grade science proficiency was critically low at 8.33%.
A key finding is the inverse relationship between spending and need: Nanny Elementary, with the highest economic disadvantage rate (68.53%), receives the lowest per-student funding ($12,040), while Kaufer High School, with the lowest disadvantage (49.5%), receives the highest ($15,926). The data also shows significant year-over-year volatility in test scores, common in small schools, making long-term trends more reliable than single-year snapshots. Overall, the district demonstrates a clear strength in secondary education, with middle and high schools outperforming the elementary school in core subjects.
