Summary:
This analysis covers three elementary schools in zip code 79510 (Clyde, TX), serving grades PK-5 across two districts: Clyde Consolidated Independent School District and Eula Independent School District (Isd).
Eula Elementary stands out as the academic powerhouse in the area, achieving the highest district ranking (81st percentile) and consistently exceeding state averages, especially in Mathematics and 5th Grade Science. It does this with the lowest per-student spending ($8,531) and the smallest class sizes (11.7:1 student-teacher ratio), making it the most efficient school. In contrast, Clyde Intermediate shows high potential with top single-year scores (e.g., 69.3% proficient in 4th Grade Math) but more volatile performance, dropping from the 74th to 68th percentile in one year. Clyde Elementary serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (51.74% free/reduced lunch) compared to its district counterpart, Clyde Intermediate (41.96%), and Eula Elementary (40.21%).
Key metrics reveal that both Clyde Intermediate and Eula Elementary significantly outperform the state average in Mathematics across all tested grades, with 4th Grade Math proficiency at 62.96% and 63.83% respectively versus the state's 45.79%. However, 3rd Grade Reading is a notable weakness for both schools, with only 36.36% of Eula's 3rd graders and 59.43% of Clyde Intermediate's 3rd graders proficient compared to the state average of 52.02%. The data also shows that Clyde Consolidated Independent School District spends more per student ($10,238 at Clyde Elementary, $9,986 at Clyde Intermediate) than Eula Independent School District (Isd) ($8,531), yet Eula achieves better academic results, suggesting a highly effective instructional model. Overall, parents should consider Eula Elementary for consistent academic excellence and smaller classes, while Clyde Intermediate offers high peaks but more variability, and Clyde Elementary faces greater economic challenges within its feeder pattern.
