Summary:
In zip code 79543, there is a single school, Roby Consolidated Independent School District, a small, rural Pre-K through 12th grade campus serving 297 students with a notably low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1.
This school presents a fascinating split in performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, elementary and middle school grades (3-8) showed mixed results, with some areas like 4th and 5th grade reading and 8th grade math significantly outperforming the state average, while other subjects like 3rd and 6th grade math fell behind. However, the high school program is exceptionally strong. Every single End of Course (EOC) exam—Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History—exceeded the state average, often by a wide margin. For example, 85.71% of students were proficient in English I compared to 55.43% statewide, and 86.96% were proficient in Biology versus 70.51% statewide. This high school excellence is consistent across two years of data, pointing to a systemic strength in the upper grades.
The school also boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and a 95.7% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year. While the lower grades show some volatility year-to-year—common in small schools where a single class can heavily influence results—the overall picture is of a district that excels at preparing students for high school and beyond. The low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $11,496 appear to be key assets, particularly in achieving the standout high school scores and keeping every student on track to graduate.
