Summary:
In zip code 79092, there is one elementary school, Vega Elementary, serving grades PK-4 in the small, rural community of Vega, Texas, within the highly-ranked Vega Independent School District (Isd).
Vega Elementary is a small school with 119 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, allowing for significant individualized attention. The school's district is a standout, ranking in the 95th percentile (45th out of 951 districts) in Texas and earning a 5-star rating. The school itself has a strong state ranking, placing in the 71st percentile (1,347th out of 4,627 schools) for the 2025-2026 school year. Per-student spending is high at $11,696, and about 34% of students are economically disadvantaged.
A key finding is a significant performance gap between reading and math. In the 2025-2026 school year, 3rd graders excelled in reading with 69.57% proficiency (well above the state's 51.08%), while 4th graders also outperformed the state in reading (55.56% vs. 53.04%). However, 4th grade math proficiency dropped dramatically to 33.33%, far below the state average of 49.28% and a steep decline from the previous year's 58.62%. This suggests a strong early literacy program but a clear need for focused math support, particularly as students move into 4th grade. The school's overall strong resources and high district ranking provide a solid foundation for addressing this challenge.
